World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity.

*** Participants of World Community Grid contribute computer time that normally would go to waste. This is the ultimate win-win situation. Your computer accesses World Community Grid's computing power to advance projects that benefit humanity. We provide the software that does it all for free, and you become part of a community that is helping to change the world. ***

Our work has developed the technical infrastructure that serves as the grid's foundation for scientific research. Our success depends upon individuals collectively contributing their unused computer time to change the world for the better.

World Community Grid is making technology available only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of our commitment to advancing human welfare, all results will be in the public domain and made public to the global research community.
