Jim, CEO of The Benetech Initiative, is one of this year’s 25 recipients of the annual MacArthur Fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Each of the Fellows receives $500,000 in �??no strings attached�?� funding over the next five years.  If you don’t know Jim or his organization, check out The Benetech Initiative’s Web site at www.benetech.org. They’ve been doing awesome work over the last six years to develop cool technology solutions to address social needs (e.g. bookshare.org and Martus - a tool for human rights investigators).  Way to go Jim!
