Who we are
OpenRefine is a free, power tool for working with messy data and improving it. Our mission is to empower everyone to meaningfully engage with data by providing an accessible, open-source tool and nurturing a diverse, supportive community.
Your sponsorship helps fill the funding gap beyond grants, ensuring the project remains healthy and community-driven.
Why Your Support Matters
We are funded by grants and gifts from institutions and individuals such as yourself.
Our annual operating budget is US$ 50,000 to fund our core team for maintenance, coordination, licensing, and administration. Individual sponsors complement existing grant funding (available at https://openrefine.org/funding)
How Funds Are Used
We are seeking your support to fund OpenRefine's core team, a small group of part-time staff who maintain the project's infrastructure, respond to community needs, review and guide volunteer contributors, handle security reports, and steward the ecosystem of extensions and reconciliation services. The expenses cover:

US $2,500 per month for project coordination
US $20,000 per year for community support including event organization and essential software licenses (Figma and Discourse)
15% of donations to our fiscal sponsor, Code for Science and Society, to handle administration and compliance

Additional funding enables us to organize community events, conduct outreach efforts, and undertake special projects.
OpenRefine is a fiscally sponsored project of Code for Science & Society, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the USA. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by US law (Tax ID: 81-3791683).
