dbpedia-owl:abstract	The Sunlight Foundation is a 501(c)(3) educational organization founded in April 2006 with the goal of increasing transparency and accountability in the United States government. The foundation encourages citizen and blogger participation by aggregating existing information and digitizing new information as well as advocating for policy changes to build a more open government. A PBS article quoted the Washington Examiner's editorial page editor, Mark Tapscott, saying that "On the key point of bringing the federal government into the digital age and thereby vastly increasing its transparency and accountability, I think Sunlight is doing more good things on a wider front than anybody has ever before done."
