MISSION The Civic Hacker Network exists to create and empower a globally connected community of people who are using data and technology to create positive social change. We amplify the work our membership is doing by providing a platform through which “civic hackers” can publicize their projects, collaborate, and get the support they need. STORY The Civic Hacker Network was created in the aftermath of the first annual Civic Hacker Summit. This network provides an avenue for keeping the conversation going and holds space for further relationship-building between annual summit events. The Civic Hacker Network is fiscally sponsored by the Open Collective Foundation, a 501(c)(3).
