Established as a nonprofit collaborative news platform, MuckRock Foundation is on a mission to make politics more transparent, and democracies better informed. They are in the business of facilitating access to, and analysis of, government documents, thereby enabling a more transparent democracy.

MuckRock offers two primary services: MuckRock and DocumentCloud. MuckRock is a unique repository containing hundreds of thousands of pages of original government materials. It not only provides information on how to file requests but also offers tools that simplify the requesting process. DocumentCloud, on the other hand, is a robust suite of tools designed for analyzing, annotating, and publishing primary source documents.

Positioned in the intersection of news, politics, and technology, MuckRock stands out in the industry by empowering journalists, researchers, activists, and regular citizens to request, analyze, and share government documents. The platform also encourages investigative reporting and analysis by using primary source documents obtained through the site.

With its innovative approach and commitment to transparency, MuckRock Foundation is redefining the way we access and understand government data, making it a vital tool in today's information-driven society.
