与公共和私营企业一样，非营利组织和社区团体也能从数据的力量中获益。但是，对于社会领域的许多组织来说，获取和理解数据可能具有挑战性。尼尔森基金会是一家由尼尔森资助的私人基金会，旨在消除分歧，加强社会部门对数据的使用，以减少歧视、缓解全球饥饿、促进有效教育和建立强大的领导力。
Through a new website and social accounts on Facebook and Twitter, the Nielsen Foundation will communicate about its programs and grantee organizations, including two signature programs: the TechDiversity Accelerator in collaboration with Tampa Bay Wave, and the Discover Data program in collaboration with Discovery Education and the Afterschool Alliance.
"尼尔森基金会捐赠执行总监安德烈娅-贝特尔斯（Andrea Bertels）表示："随着我们捐赠项目的不断发展，我们也很高兴能拓展尼尔森基金会的交流渠道。"我们渴望与其他支持在社会领域使用数据的组织和基金会进行交流，并分享更多关于我们令人惊叹的受资助者的信息"。
The Foundation was established in November 2015 and began grant-making in 2016. From 2016 through 2018, the Foundation distributed $3.1 million in grant funding across the priority areas of hunger and nutrition, education, and diversity and inclusion. These grants included 12 Data for Good grants, which award funding to organizations that use data in innovative ways to improve their programming and outcomes. More information on the Data for Good grantee organizations can be found on the Nielsen Foundation website.
通过 "数据造福人类 "项目，尼尔森基金会特别关注那些通过增加获取技能、资源和机会的途径，影响公众态度或行为以取得积极的社会成果，以及利用数据为积极的社会变革提供信息，从而弥合分歧的计划和项目。
