Radiant Earth Foundation is an American non-profit organization founded in 2016.[1] Its goal is to apply machine learning for Earth observation[2] to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.[3] The foundation works on developing openly licensed Earth observation machine learning libraries, training data sets[4] and models through an open source hub that support missions worldwide[5] like agriculture[6], conservation, and climate change.[7] Radiant Earth also works on a community of practice that develop standards around machine learning for Earth observation.

The Foundation is funded by Schmidt Futures, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, McGovern Foundation and the Omidyar network[8]
