Unlocking the full potential of technology and data for the common good.
The Commons Project is a nonprofit public trust established to build platforms and services to make life better for people around the world.
We believe that everyone should enjoy the full benefit of technology and data while maintaining control over their digital lives. We believe that communities are stronger when data is open and can be shared for the benefit of all.
Our highest loyalty is to the people we serve.
People first.
Our public trust governance structure is built to ensure that we serve people’s interests above all.
Filling the void.
We build and operate the shared platforms and services that neither governments nor tech companies are well positioned to create.
Common ground.
Headquartered in Switzerland, we partner with public and private organizations around the world who embrace our values.
The Commons Project was established with support from the Rockefeller Foundation.
