TACKLING PROBLEMS FOR A BETTER WORLD

Palantir was founded on the principle that we all have a responsibility to create a better world. Since our first days as a company we've put our efforts against really big problems—those whose solutions help transform the world into a better place. By donating software, expertise and funds to the following organizations, we've been able to help them magnify their positive impact on the world.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization that serves as the United States' resource on the issues of missing and sexually exploited children. The Center provides information and resources to law enforcement and other professionals, parents and children, including child victims.

How we helped: Implementing Palantir has enabled NCMEC analysts to fuse together dozens of datasets—and search across all that data in a matter of mere seconds—to quickly assist law enforcement investigations.

Direct Relief International

Direct Relief International provides medical assistance to improve the quality of life for people affected by poverty, disaster, and civil unrest in the U.S. and around the world. Direct Relief works with healthcare providers in more than 70 countries and all 50 states in the U.S., equipping under-resourced, local medical professionals with the medicines, supplies, and equipment to care for their patients.

How we are helping: We support Direct Relief’s work around the world, including HIV treatment and prevention, emergency response, and the strengthening of U.S. nonprofit clinics and health centers. We integrate survey information from these healthcare providers and combine it with existing federal data to help Direct Relief better understand how the U.S. healthcare safety net is serving low-income and uninsured people now and how it can serve them better in the future.

The Daniel Pearl Project

A three-year collaboration between the Center for Public Integrity and Georgetown University, the Pearl Project investigated the roles of 27 men linked to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

How we helped: Palantir's software enabled investigators to uncover, analyze and understand the complex network responsible for the crimes against Pearl, and shed light on issues informing U.S. foreign policy in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region.
