Omidyar Network believes that all individuals have the innate potential to make life better for themselves and their communities. As a mission-based organization, Omidyar Network supports institutions and structures that foster conditions for individuals to improve the quality of their lives. These conditions include equal access to information, resources and tools, the ability to connect to others with shared interests, and a sense of ownership over outcomes.

Thanks to the support and funding of Omidyar Network, DonorsChoose.org opened to every public school in America in the fall of 2007.
