Hear that crunching sound? That’s the sound of data being crunched all over the world, in the name of improving humanity. The Knight Foundation wants to add to that crunching, and make it do more for organizations. With $1.1 million in new funding, the Knight Foundation will help the group DataKind expand programs and help more social service organizations use data to advance their mission.

Nonprofit data geeks worldwide cheered the grant.
