MEMBERSHIP & ADVOCACY COMMUNITY

Data Coalition

A Data Foundation Community

Where data leaders unite for action

The Data Coalition is the cross-sector community whose members helped enact every major federal data law of the past decade, from the DATA Act and the Evidence Act to the Financial Data Transparency Act. Now we are shaping what comes next.

Our members are not just data users. They are data leaders: data and technology firms, consultancies, nonprofits, universities, and public sector organizations, united behind a shared, nonpartisan agenda and turning their expertise into federal data law, standards, and practice.

Modern data infrastructure is built by a coalition, not by any single company or advocate.

Better data. Better decisions. Better future.
