The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based educational <a href="Charity_Commission_for_England_and_Wales" title="Charity Commission for England and Wales">charity</a> founded in 2008 to promote the study of <a href="Computer_science" title="Computer science">computer science</a> and related subjects globally, particularly among young people. It is best known for initiating the <a href="Raspberry_Pi" title="Raspberry Pi">Raspberry Pi</a> series of <a href="Single-board_computer" title="Single-board computer">single-board computers</a>. These are now designed and sold by <a href="Raspberry_Pi_Holdings" title="Raspberry Pi Holdings">Raspberry Pi Holdings</a>, a publicly traded company of which the Foundation is the largest shareholder. While legally distinct, both entities share a mission to democratise access to computing.

[T]he lack of programmable hardware for children – the sort of hardware we used to have in the 1980s – is undermining the supply of 18-year-olds who know how to program, so that's a problem for universities, and then it's undermining the supply of 21-year-olds who know how to program, and that's causing problems for industry.

After several early prototypes, the first Raspberry Pi computer was launched in 2012.<a href="#cite_note-raspberry_pi_foundation-10">[10]</a> Beyond the originally intended use in education, the computer was quickly adopted by computer and electronics enthusiasts. Many of these users carried their experience with the platform into professional and industrial settings.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>

To commercialize the computer and meet growing demand, the Foundation established a commercial subsidiary in late 2012 called Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd. to develop and manufacture its computing products.<a href="#cite_note-Companies_House-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Welcome_Lance-13">[13]</a> The profits of this company used to fund the charitable work of the foundation. Between 2012 and 2024, the commercial subsidiary contributed nearly US$50 million to the Foundation, alongside over US$60 million raised from philanthropy and other sources.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

Upton left the foundation board in December 2012 to lead both the new company and foundation as <a href="CEO" class="mw-redirect" title="CEO">CEO</a>.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> In September 2013 Lance Howarth became CEO of the foundation, allowing Upton to focus on the company.<a href="#cite_note-Welcome_Lance-13">[13]</a> Philip Colligan took over as CEO of the foundation in July 2015.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> In 2016, The foundation moved its headquarters to <a href="Station_Road%2C_Cambridge" title="Station Road, Cambridge">Station Road</a>, Cambridge,<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> moving again in 2018, to <a href="Hills_Road%2C_Cambridge" title="Hills Road, Cambridge">Hills Road</a>, Cambridge.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a>

In 2015, the Raspberry Pi Foundation merged with <a href="Code_Club" title="Code Club">Code Club</a>.<a href="#cite_note-code_club_merger-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> In 2017, it merged with <a href="CoderDojo" title="CoderDojo">CoderDojo</a>.<a href="#cite_note-coderdojo_merger-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a>

The commercial subsidiary split from the foundation in July 2024, and became a publicly traded company, with the foundation as its largest shareholder. The foundation was supportive of the move, and said would use proceeds from share sales to establish an <a href="Financial_endowment" title="Financial endowment">endowment</a> for its educational work while remaining a major shareholder and stakeholder in the company's future.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> Following the IPO, the Foundation's shareholding in Raspberry Pi Holdings was reduced from 77.31% to 49.08%, generating £136 million to establish the endowment.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Activities">Activities</h2></div>

The Foundation delivers educational programmes promoting the study of <a href="Computer_science" title="Computer science">computer science</a> and related subjects worldwide, including teacher training, curriculum resources, and outreach initiatives.

In April 2014, the foundation announced a £1 million education fund to support projects that enhance the understanding of computing and to promote the use of technology in other subjects, particularly <a href="STEM_fields" class="mw-redirect" title="STEM fields">STEM</a> and creative arts for children.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> They offered to provide up to 50% of the total projected costs to successful applicants.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> <a href="Carrie_Anne_Philbin" title="Carrie Anne Philbin">Carrie Anne Philbin</a> was the Director of Education.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a>

The Raspberry Foundation is an active sponsor of the British edition of the <a href="Bebras_Competition" title="Bebras Competition">International Bebras Computing competition</a>, together with the <a href="University_of_Oxford" title="University of Oxford">University of Oxford</a>.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

The foundation publishes Hello World, a "computing and digital making" magazine.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> From 2018 to early 2023, the foundation published Wireframe, a <a href="Video_game_development" title="Video game development">video game development</a> magazine.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a>
