The Nimiq Foundation
The not-for-profit Nimiq Foundation funds and supports the development and progress of the Nimiq Blockchain and Ecosystem.
The Foundation is governed by a board of seven members, that to date has mostly consisted of team members involved with the project since its inception.
The longer-term vision is to broaden the governance and include community members as Nimiq’s reach and the Nimiq Ecosystem mature to reflect the decentralized and global spirit as much as possible.

Reserve for Charity
Contributing something meaningful to society is at the heart of Nimiq. This commitment is immutably engraved into the Nimiq blockchain.
The ImpactX Foundation was set up as registered charity to hold and manage the NIM reserved for supporting projects of high social and ecological impact.
The plan is to provide charitable grants once the value of NIM allows for making a difference without prematurely draining the Charity’s potential.
