That's our mission, and to accomplish it, we've created a non-partisan, non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that focuses on the digitization of government data and the creation of tools and Web sites to make that data easily accessible for all citizens.
It's a simple concept, but it's a very big job, and we are working with you to meet the challenge on every front.
The Sunlight Foundation is:
-
A think-tank that develops and encourages new policies inside the government to make it more open and transparent.
-
A campaign to engage citizens in demanding the policies that will open government and hold their elected officials accountable for being transparent.
-
An investigative organization that uses the data we uncover to demonstrate why we need new policies that free government data.
-
A grant-giving institution that provides resources to organizations using technology to further our mission and create community
-
An open source technology community that revolves around the Sunlight Foundation's core mission
We're pretty sure that when we achieve our mission of a transparent government, we will transform America.
We very much hope you'll join us in making that vision a reality.
