Mr. Kapor provided the initial commitment of $5 million for the foundation. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation provided a $98,000 grant in March 2003 to investigate whether Chandler could be extended to meet higher education needs. That study determined the additional requirements for implementing a higher education version of Chandler. Subsequent grants in September 2003– $1.5 million from the Mellon Foundation and $1.25 million from the 25 university members comprising the Common Solutions Group – will supplement OSAF’s initial funding of $5 million, and willenable OSAF to complete the development of this additional functionality for Chandler by the end of 2005. In addition OSAF receives smaller cash donations from many individuals.
