Data.org is a platform for partnerships to build the field of data science for social impact. 

Data science is being used to bring products and services to market that are profoundly affecting our world. Yet, too many mission-driven organizations lack the know-how and tools to harness the power of data. 

Talented data scientists want to help, yet many organizations are not equipped to integrate their expertise into their decision-making. Tools and data exist, but too often they’re not designed for non-profit and public sector needs. We have the building blocks—but to succeed at scale, we need to create better connections between data resources and those on the front lines of social impact. 

That’s where data.org comes in. We are focused on building capacity with training resources and access to data sets, and open-source tools to realize the potential for data-driven insights to solve some of society’s biggest challenges, all while adhering to principles of responsible data use.
