About Kuali Foundation, Inc.

 

The Kuali Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation that coordinates the development of free/open source administrative software under the Educational Community License. The name "Kuali" came from the Malaysian word for wok. At a time when many colleges and universities are paying tens of millions of dollars for administrative systems, the notion of a wok -- a humble, but essential dish -- seemed appropriate.

The Foundation is incorporated in the United States. Its members are colleges, universities, commercial firms, and interested organizations that share a common vision of open, modular, and distributed software systems.
