The Sunlight Foundation (SF) was established in 2006 with the goal
of “using the revolutionary power of the Internet and new information
technology to enable citizens to learn more about what Congress and
their elected representatives are doing, and thus help reduce
corruption, ensure greater transparency and accountability by
government, and foster public trust in the vital institutions of
democracy.” The Foundation derives its name from former Supreme Court
Justice Louis Brandeis’s assertion that “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”
SF's executive director (and one of its co-founders) is Ellen Miller, who previously served as deputy director of the Campaign for America's Future, where she headed its Project for an Accountable Congress. Miller also established Public Campaign[1] and the Center for Responsive Politics[2], both based in Washington, DC. Moreover, she is a former publisher of TomPaine.com, a former fellow with The American Prospect, and an occasional contributor to The Nation.
SF's other co-founder and current chairman is Michael Klein, a retired attorney who now serves as a trustee of the American Himalayan Foundation and the Shakespeare Theatre Company.
SF currently oversees four major projects:
