Mission: The Sunlight Foundation is a nonpartisan organization that uses the power of the Internet to catalyze greater government openness and transparency, and provides new tools and resources for media and citizens, alike. We are committed to improving access to government information by making it available online, indeed redefining "public" information as meaning "online," and by creating new tools and websites to enable individuals and communities to better access that information and put it to use. (Less)

The Sunlight Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 2006, and donations are tax-deductible.
