In 2010, the family of Gene Roddenberry started a foundation to help bring about the vision that he saw for the future of mankind. Each year, they grant money to non-profits that are helping to change the world, one bit at a time. This year, it’s particularly interesting that they have concentrated their efforts in the areas of agriculture and women’s rights and education. Who knew that food and education could bring about a future of egalitarianism? (Apparently, Gene did.)
