The GivingTuesday Data Commons provides to the social sector what the commercial sector has long benefitted from: big data to drive better decision-making, build a more resilient social sector, and accelerate equitable social innovation.

Data Commons works with partners across sectors and borders to:

• understand the drivers and impacts of all types of generosity, 
• analyze the effects of networks and collective action,
• explore giving behaviors and patterns, 
• and use data to inspire more giving around the world. 

With hundreds of collaborators and 50 global data labs, the Data Commons has collected the most comprehensive datasets in the social sector and is the only initiative focused on collecting and analyzing individual giving behavior of all types.
