Mission Statement
The Data Foundation champions the use of open data and evidence-informed public policy to make society better for everyone. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., we conduct research, collaborative thought leadership, and advocacy programs that advance practical policies for the creation and use of accessible, trustworthy data.
Description
As a nonpartisan think tank, the Data Foundation conducts research, collaborative thought leadership, and advocacy programs that advance practical policies for the creation and use of accessible, trustworthy data. Data Policy Awareness. Constant effort is needed to not only identify problems and challenges facing the data, evidence, and transparency communities, but also how to adjust strategies for responsibility and efficiently addressing those challenges. Bipartisan Policy Efforts to Increase Data Use. With the attention and focus on solving real problems, our efforts over the past decade helped formulate, refine, and advocate for milestone, bipartisan data and transparency legislation now signed into law. Meaningful Change. While enactment of new legislation can set the tone and establish priorities for data, evidence, and transparency initiatives, effective implementation in the Executive Branch is a critical driver of success in the overarching goals.
