provide a foundation for open, collaborative software development projects by supplying hardware, communication, and business infrastructure

create an independent legal entity to which companies and individuals can donate resources and be assured that those resources will be used for the public benefit

provide a means for individual volunteers to be sheltered from legal suits directed at the Foundation’s projects

protect the ‘Apache’ brand, as applied to its software products, from being abused by other organizations
