Radiant Earth Foundation is an American non-profit organization founded in 2016.^[1]^[2] Its goal is to apply machine learning for Earth observation^[3] to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.^[4] The foundation works on developing openly licensed Earth observation machine learning libraries, training data sets^[5] and models through an open source hub^[6] that support missions worldwide^[7] like agriculture,^[8] conservation, and climate change.^[9] Radiant Earth also works on a community of practice that develop standards, templates and APIs^[6] around machine learning for Earth observation. According to scholar David Lindgren, the foundation "serves to make satellite imagery widely accessible and usable for development practitioners".^[10]

The Foundation is funded by Schmidt Futures, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,^[1] McGovern Foundation and the Omidyar network^[9]
