How we check entries

What's included

Active organisations and projects that build or defend open, accountable public technology: from participation tools and open data to digital rights and the funders behind them.

What "checked" means

We confirmed the site is live and the organisation is active, and matched its name, location and description against its own pages or official records. Each entry shows the date. Every link is re-tested automatically each month.

What it isn't

A complete census. Coverage is strongest in Europe and thinner in Africa, Asia and Latin America, which we're working on. Locations mark a headquarters city, not every place an organisation works.

Know one we're missing?

Send us the name and a link, or tell us about a correction. We review everything before it goes on the map.
