# About the Neighbourhoods Foundation
Neighbourhoods Foundation is a charitable trust incorporated in New Zealand. It is the parent entity for the Neighbourhoods project. It steers development of the open source Social Sensemaker, maintains and facilitates $NHT liquidity and availability, and directs development of the marketplace.
The Trust's objectives are to build and maintain our suite of tools for sense-making, for the creation of digital social spaces that are community and mission-driven, and to commit the project to...
* the participant ownership and control over their means of communication, information sharing, and record-keeping;
* the development of local systems of discoverability of content and services;
* enabling stewardship and enhancement of archives of local knowledge;
* community-centered auditing and validation of the provenance of data sets;
* facilitation and support of the use of the Social Sensemaker at no cost;
* the development of an ecosystem of compatible applications;
* and free educational opportunities for community members in New Zealand and virtually.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://whitepaper.neighbourhoods.network/white-paper-2.0/overview-of-the-neighbourhoods-ecosystem/about-the-neighbourhoods-foundation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
