17  Acknowledgments

The Spatial Equity Data Tool was originally funded in collaboration with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded the tool’s expansion from city-level analysis to national-, state-, and county-level analysis. The Salesforce Foundation funded the development of the tool’s application programming interface (API).

We are grateful to them and to all our funders, who make it possible for Urban to advance its mission.
