About Data.org

Our mission
data.org is accelerating the power of data and AI to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. By hosting innovation challenges to surface and scale groundbreaking ideas, and elevating use cases of the most effective tools and strategies, we are building the field of data for social impact. By 2032, we will train one million purpose-driven data practitioners, ensuring there is capacity to drive meaningful, equitable impact.
We look forward to working, learning, and building with you
WHAT WE DO
A platform for partnerships
data.org brings together philanthropy, private sector technology, academia, and social impact organizations to accelerate the field of data and AI for social impact. We do this work in three ways:
Making the Case
In our innovation challenges and community engagement, we identify, amplify, and scale strategies for data and AI to achieve impact. We showcase what great data for social impact looks like to instruct, empower, and connect others.
Developing Capacity
We will reach our goal of training one million purpose-driven data practitioners by 2032 only through interdisciplinary, locally-led programs. Our growing and diverse global network of partners–including five Capacity Accelerator Network hubs worldwide–is making connections across sectors and across borders, inspiring a new generation of problem solvers.
Strengthening Community and Commons
We support and drive adoption of digital public goods that have the power to transform the ecosystem. We foster connection, collaboration, and transparency among developer, funder, and user communities so that available resources are accessible to all. The data.org library of resources is always evolving, from our easy-to-use playbooks to conversations with experts that provide a roadmap for enhancing an organization’s data maturity.
