About Radiant Earth

Radiant Earth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to increase shared understanding of our world through initiatives that make data easier to access and use.

The future of our species depends on our ability to develop sustainable methods of sharing data with one another. Shared access to data allows humans to develop a fact-based and shared understanding of our world, which is necessary for us to collaboratively address global challenges.

Expanding access to data is necessary to empower more people to perform scientific research, reduce the cost of research and product development, enable reproducibility of research, and foster collaboration among institutions.

Our vision is a world in which shared data is used to improve decision making at all levels of society.

Please visit our homepage and blog to learn more about our current initiatives.

We also provide fiscal sponsorship and support services to initiatives aligned with our mission, including:

  • Convenings of data practitioners
  • Projects that produce novel shared data products
