COVID-19 Local Community Relief
The Anspar Foundation has created a COVID-19 relief response fund to help people and organizations impacted by the ongoing 2020 pandemic. Although this is outside of the Foundation's normal remit of studying organizational openness and transparency, the unique and widespread nature of this global emergency has compelled us to help out in our local communities.

This project is studying the costs and benefits of sharing intellectual property in a creative context. Through a study of games of similar type and scope, but with varying licenses on the copyrighted materials we hope to get a clear understanding of how open licences for creative content affect the viability of businesses that create that content.
