Your generosity strengthens the infrastructure that keeps Open Datasets for All online and usable. This project thrives on a collaborative ecosystem of data curators, educators, technologists, and community volunteers. With steady support, we can expand coverage, improve searchability, and remove friction that prevents people from finding and using important datasets.

  • Sustainable hosting and bandwidth for large and growing data portals
  • High quality metadata and interoperability across platforms
  • Multilingual access to reach researchers and learners worldwide
