The Turing Foundation is a Dutch charitable organization, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The Turing Foundation, named in honour of scientist Alan Turing, was established in 2006 by Pieter Geelen, who donated the €100 million[1][2] he acquired from the IPO of TomTom, a company he co-founded.[citation needed]
The foundation contributes roughly €3,500,000 a year[3] to projects that:
- provide education for children in developing countries,[4]
- protect and conserve nature,
- fight leprosy, and
- allow people to enjoy art.
