Overview

Mission

Promote responsible development and persistent support of software technologies in research.

What it reported doing in 2025

Project Hosting Fees Hekademeias unique, cloud-based hosting model is designed to keep projects operational even between funding gaps and vendor changes. To accomplish our perpetual hosting and support services, we leverage cloud-based hosting technologies and optimize projects for low long-term costs. Projects are adapted to a container network, hosted in a Docker Swarm on Amazon Web Services (AWS). In addition to building and managing the hosting architecture, we provide monitoring and software updates on a continual basis. We are also committed to provide hosting and support for this project during the award phase and through Sponsored Membership for a minimum of 5 years beyond.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
