Our Impact
The Open Gov Hub was a revolutionary new idea when we were founded in 2012 nearly a decade ago. From day one, we have focused on leveraging our world-changing member network to be far more than the sum of its parts - because we can achieve far more working together than any of us can working alone.
As a dynamic meeting place (in-person and virtually), we continually work to cultivate a unique environment based on shared values - so on any given day, you can meet someone new and learn something new to enhance your social impact.
Whether by chatting at the coffee bar in our world-class coworking space, attending our frequent online, hybrid or in-person events, swapping requests on our member Slack channels, or in other ways - every day our members are sharing resources and and collaborating in large and small ways.
The Open Gov Hub team regularly curates connections and collaborations, and continually invests in expanding our shared resources and member benefits services, while regularly listening to feedback and learning and adapting along the way.
