360Giving aims to make UK grantmaking more informed, effective and strategic. We support organisations to publish their grants data in an open, standardised way and help people to understand and use the data in order to support decision-making and learning across the charitable giving sector. Our ‘open data’ approach enables easy access to grants information without having to trawl through annual reports and websites. We are also developing online platforms that allow non-experts to use the data, making it easier for everyone to easily discover who is funding what, where and what for. Find out more at www.threesixtygiving.org and @360Giving. |
