History

• Omidyar Foundation
• Pierre and Pam established the Omidyar Foundation
  in 1998 to make grants to nonprofits.
• Through their work with the Foundation, they
  realized that
• More flexibility greater social impact.
• eBay was having tremendous social impact as a
  for-profit company by creating a marketplace
  where millions of people can improve their lives.
• Leveled the playing field by providing equal
  access to information.
• Enabled people to connect over shared interests.
• Encouraged participants to take ownership of
  their activities.
• Omidyar Network
• The Foundation was closed and Omidyar Network was
  established in 2004 as a philanthropic investment
  firm.
• Today, a flexible structure allows Omidyar
  Network to invest in any organization that aligns
  with the mission.
