The Wielenga Innovation Foundation seeks to foster innovation and creativity.  The foundation desires to promote both creativity and the study of creativity.  It also seeks to promote innovative ways to better the world and society.  

The founder, Thomas J. Wielenga, was an engineer and invented a method to prevent rollover in Sport Utility Vehicles and Vans.  For some time it was likely responsible for saving a thousand lives per year from death in rollover accidents.  While considering how the process of invention and evolution were similar he identified something he calls the "Creative Process."  This process takes existing resources and combines them to produce new "Ideas."  These ideas are subject to a competition in which better ideas survive and less suitable ideas are eliminated.  The surviving ideas are new "Designs" and become resources for subsequent rounds of creation.  In this process functionality and complexity tends to increase.  The elimination (death) of less suitable ideas is important in discovering favorable designs in an infinite design space.  A philosophy of the founder and how he arrived at it can be found here.

One of the ideas that may make many organizations fairer is a method of deciding called "Fair Chances" voting.  This gives every vote the same chances of winning.  A tool for implementing this process is included here.

We also look for other innovative ways for the betterment of the world that we can actively support.  You can see the grants that the Wielenga Innovation Foundation, Inc. has supported can be found here.  

Of particular note is the Wielenga Innovation Still Salt Reactor (WISSR).  This is molten salt reactor that is simple, safe, inexpensive and burns the radioactive waste of existing nuclear reactors.
