Support Fairer Algorithms for the Public Good

Overview

The Fair Algorithms Initiative aims to strengthen the fairness, accountability, and inclusivity of algorithmic systems that touch daily life. This project focuses on building transparent, auditable tools that communities can review and guide. By combining rigorous research with open collaboration, we create practical approaches that help organizations design fairer experiences for students, voters, customers, and citizens alike. Donations sustain the core work needed to move from theory to practice, ensuring that the public can understand, participate in, and benefit from algorithmic decision making.

Through open data, public documentation, and inclusive governance, we pursue measurable improvements in how algorithms operate in real settings. The initiative seeks to reduce opaque decision making while increasing visibility into how models are trained, tuned, and tested. Your support helps keep this work anchored in the public interest and resilient to shifting priorities in tech and policy.

We view this effort as a sustained partnership between researchers, practitioners, and communities. By investing in robust methodologies, transparent reporting, and accessible interfaces, we create a durable framework for fairer systems that can scale across domains and languages. The goal is not a single fix but a living, collaborative process that grows with feedback and accountability.
