How is the GLF being funded?
The Genographic Project, as a nonprofit partnership between National Geographic and IBM, will direct the net proceeds from the sale of the Genographic Project Public Participation Kits back into the project. A portion of the net proceeds will support the field research, but the balance will go to help indigenous peoples around the world through grants from the Genographic Legacy Fund. No less than 50 percent of the net proceeds will be allocated to the Genographic Legacy Fund.
