Who We Are
Siegel Family Endowment supports organizations working at the intersections of learning, workforce, and infrastructure.
Technological change has radically altered the way we live, work, and learn. The transformation of the global economy has impacted society on every level—from schools to the workplace to our built environment —and altered the terms on which people are able to access opportunities and thrive in daily life. In order to address the biggest challenges we face today, we aim to ensure all people have the tools and equitable access to systems necessary to engage with and affect change in a rapidly evolving world.

Data Futures Lab, a project of the Mozilla Foundation, served as an experimental space for developing new approaches to data stewardship. Its goal was to build tools and communities designed to offer such better ways—ways that give greater control and agency to people. In so doing, the project sought to advance policies, approaches, and tools that prioritize data co-creation, ownership, and stewardship in ways that benefit a diverse and inclusive public.
