Murmuration provides research, data-driven insights, organizing tools and capacity-building services to community organizations through two affiliated U.S. entities.
Murmuration works with organizations seeking to build power in their communities, supplying partner networks, data-driven insights, organizing tools and capacity-building services. The organisation operates as two complementary entities: Murmuration Research Institute, a 501(c)(3) research body, and Murmuration, Inc., a 501(c)(4) that provides data, tools and support to mission-aligned community organizations. Both are active in the United States.
Its technical work spans data science, research, engagement platforms and geospatial analytics of people and places. Murmuration, Inc. delivers insights into people, places and perspectives alongside tools intended to make organizing and engagement more effective. The Murmuration Research Institute conducts research to inform the design of data, tools and insights for healthier and more equitable communities. A third strand is a network of values-aligned partners, supported by services that strengthen their capacity to lead change locally.
The team is described as including organizers, scientists, teachers, technologists and campaign veterans, working across civic engagement, community organizing, advocacy, the nonprofit sector, social impact research and education. The stated culture is collaborative, curious and creative, with a mission focus on equity and community-led change. Murmuration also notes an emphasis on employee well-being, on the view that people who lead happy, healthy and balanced lives bring their best selves to the work.
