Sugar Labs is described at http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/ as
follows:

Sugar is a learning platform that reinvents how computers are used for
education. Sugar's focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is grounded
in the culture of free software.* Sugar Labs' mission is to produce,
distribute and support the use of the Sugar learning platform.* Sugar Labs
supports the community of educators and software developers who want to
extend the platform. Sugar is a community project: under the Sugar Labs
umbrella hundreds of software developers and thousands of educators work
together to build, disseminate, and support Sugar.

*Future Goals*

* Sugarizer Fund

* IIAB (Internet In A Box) fund

further motions are needed for making individual disbursements. [done]
