All Social Impact Stories

I’m pleased to share the Tableau Foundation’s brand new Living Annual Report. We’ve ditched the traditional, glossy-printed annual report for a live report so anyone can get near-real-time information on what we’re doing around the globe.

Just a few minutes of work can have a real impact. Join us in our fight against malaria by helping map buildings in Zambia.

The Tableau Foundation has teamed up with PATH to eliminate malaria in Zambia and create a replicable model that can be deployed across the globe. The five-year “Visualize No Malaria” campaign empowers responders with real-time analytics to help save lives.

The Tableau Foundation is proud to announce a free software program for non-profit organizations. All non-profits with an annual operating budget under $5 million qualify for this program. We’ve also established the Tableau Service Corps, a volunteer network of Tableau team members eager to help non-profits see and understand their data. Any non-profit, regardless of size, can tap the help of the many volunteers listed on the Tableau Service Corps website.

As with many other social and political issues, data is a powerful tool for adding perspective. Here are several compelling vizzes from the Tableau community that show how this divisive issue has evolved over the years.

First responders often say the first and most vital need in a crisis is information. Maps of roads in particular help drive targeted relief efforts. Just hours after the earthquake, volunteers from Tableau joined the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) to help map Nepal.

Our mission is to help people see and understand their data. This mission drives our work—but our customers’ and employees’ passion fuel it. This month, we’re excited to let you know about Tableau Foundation, a new way for people to combine data with passion, all in the service of making the world a better place.
