NIELSEN FOUNDATION

The Nielsen Foundation is a private foundation originally funded by Nielsen, a global data and analytics company. We envision a more equitable world where everyone counts. Our mission is to support organizations that give voice and opportunities to historically under-represented groups and communities. Across our focus areas, the Foundation’s grantmaking is firmly grounded in our commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).

BRIDGING DIVIDES THROUGH DATA

Across our grantmaking and priority areas, the Nielsen Foundation seeks to bridge divides through the power of data.

Discover Data is powered by the Nielsen Foundation in collaboration with Discovery Education and the National AfterSchool Association.
