This sounds too good to be true. Am I missing something?
Is World Community Grid a non-profit organization?
World Community Grid is an IBM sponsored philanthropic initiative, started in November of 2004. Its purpose is to create the world's largest public computing grid for running research projects that benefit humanity. For more information, go to

How does World Community Grid get new projects?
First, a non-profit organization has to have a research project which benefits humanity for which they require some serious computer power in order to complete the research. Then someone from the research organization goes to the World Community Grid website and
Submits a Proposal
. At World Community Grid, we review the proposal to ensure it meets all requirements and is technically feasible to run on the grid. A final approval comes from the World Community Grid Advisory Board.
Are the results produced by World Community Grid part of a commercial venture?
No. This is a philanthropic project, not for profit. The direct results of work done by the World Community Grid will be in the public domain.
This sounds too good to be true. Am I missing something?
Everything is on the level. Members who volunteer their unused computer cycles benefit by not only making their computers more productive, but also by helping make scientific inroads on humanitarian problems. Research organizations benefit by having Grid computing available to them at no cost, enabling them to make more effective use of critical funds. The people of the world benefit because humanitarian research is advanced, and the results are shared because they are made available in the public domain.
