Foundation

Owned and operated by Trustroots Foundation, a non-profit registered in the United Kingdom since March 2015.

Team

Trustroots is being built by a small team of activists who felt that the world of sharing is being taken over by corporations trying to monetize people’s willingness to help each other. Same team brought you also Hitchwiki, Trashwiki and Nomadwiki.

Meet the team

Free and open source

We think it’s a shame that former non-profits have been sold to venture capital. We’ve been running other notable free and open projects for a decade now, and we hope our deeds so far speak for us.
