The OpenGov Foundation is a fiercely apolitical nonprofit dedicated to serving those who serve the people in America’s legislatures.

Our mission is to create a 21st century Congress where elected officials and staff can meaningfully engage at scale with those they represent, and where citizens can see, shape, and understand the critical decisions that affect their lives, their families, and their businesses.

Founded within the halls of Congress and launched in 2013, we and our open source products have supported more than 50 communities, states, and countries—from the City of Chicago to the federal governments of the United States, Mexico, and France. Our experience in legislative transformation, open source product development, and human-centered design enables us to use technology to help bridge legislatures and the communities they represent.
