History

Seth Linden and David Taus founded the nonprofit Tutorpedia Foundation in November 2009. After four years of running Tutorpedia, Seth wanted to increase the reach of its free tutoring services by offering individual scholarships and institutionalizing one-on-one tutoring in schools. Incorporating a 501(c)(3) would allow funds to be raised via tax-deductible donations, foundation and corporate grants, and nonprofit partnerships. Furthermore, it is paramount to its founders that Tutorpedia provide one-on-one tutoring not just to those who can afford it, but also to those who cannot.

Tutorpedia donates at least 1% of its time, profit, and assets to the Tutorpedia Foundation. This includes sharing rent, utilities, IT systems, and administration costs. The Tutorpedia Foundation contracts the same tutors, and is managed by the same directors, as Tutorpedia.
