Selectricity is made possible through the generous support of a series of organizations and groups.

The <%= link_to "MIT Media Lab", "http://www.media.mit.edu" %> funded work on the project during its first year as a research prototype. In particular, the <%= link_to("Electronic Publishing", "http://ep.media.mit.edu") %> research group supported the creation of the <%= link_to("RubyVote", "http://rubyvote.rubyforge.org") %> library while the <%= link_to("Computing Culture", "http://compcult.media.mit.edu") %> research group supported the creation of much of Selectricity and an earlier research prototype called HyperChad.

Funding for the current version of the project comes from the <%= link_to("Digital Incubator", "http://www.digitalincubator.net/") %> initiative -- a joint effort between <%= link_to("mtv", "http://www.mtv.com") %>/<%= link_to("mtvU", "http://www.mtvu.com") %> and <%= link_to("Cisco", "http://www.cisco.com") %>. MTVu has also played an important role in publicizing the project.
