About data.org
A global organization, data.org convenes and coordinates across sectors to support and advance visionary—yet practical—solutions to drive impact, through data.
Our mission
data.org envisions a world that uses the power of data and AI to tackle society’s greatest challenges and improve lives across the globe. Launched by, and in close partnership with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and The Rockefeller Foundation, data.org serves as a platform for partnerships committed to engaging thinkers, doers, funders, researchers, capacity builders, and dreamers to work together to build the field of data for social impact.
A platform for partnerships
data.org brings together philanthropy, private sector technology, academia, and social impact organizations to build the field of data and AI for social impact. We do this work in three ways:
Prove the Cases
We invest in, amplify, and scale strategies that work in data, and AI. We showcase what great data for social impact looks like to instruct, empower, and connect others.
