Overview

Support Open Source, Fair Algorithms for the Public Good is a focused effort to build transparent, auditable algorithms that serve the public interest. This work brings together researchers, developers, and community contributors to shape tools that reduce bias, improve accountability, and enable broader participation in algorithm design. Donations directly fund core engineering, documentation, and governance processes that keep these resources accessible to civic projects, educators, and non profits.

The aim is to create a sustainable ecosystem where open collaboration leads to practical, verifiable outcomes. By supporting this initiative, you help ensure that fair algorithmic concepts move from ideas into usable, public assets that communities can adopt with confidence.
