Twenty years of Creative Commons licenses!
In 2021, we honored our founding anniversary. This year, we celebrate two decades of Creative Commons licenses by continuing our work, advancingBetter Sharingacross the globe.
Much like the stars and constellations inspired the philosophers, scientists, and poets, CC licenses have opened up a galaxy of knowledge and culture to share, use, and build upon. What future myths, legends, and stories or global solutions, new technologies, educational resources, and cultural heritage will draw inspiration from a single bright spark of brilliance from a CC-licensed work? Knowledge, creativity, innovation, and progress are built incrementally. CC licenses inspire better sharing for a brighter future.
我们邀请您加入我们。We havean ambitious goal to raise over $15 millionin support of open access and better sharing for a brighter future.
As a nonprofit, we rely on the contributions of donors like you.

Better Sharing for a Brighter Future
In the last two decades, we’ve helped shape the culture around “sharing,” increasing access to valuable information, historic images, scientific articles, educational resources, cultural artifacts, and so much more.
Now, we’re looking forward, eager to put the tools to share and re-share content in the hands of everyone, everywhere.We know that greater access to information means a stronger global community, more innovation, and increased capacity to solve key challenges the world faces today…
