4. We can map who can receive grants (with some effort)
But not who is already supporting these organisations and for what
Leads to a long slow process of experiment and discovery
Increases barriers to effective, strategic philanthropy
5. How can we help philanthropists in general in recognition of this
(unexpected) award
16. Our ambition is that within 5 reporting years 80% of grants made by UK
charities, foundations & other grant makers are reported as open data to
agreed standards:
• Creating a clear information landscape for grant-makers in the UK
showing who has funded what, with how much and for what
• Building transparency for the public, taxpayers and authorities
• Leading to improved effectiveness in grant making and greater scope
for informed strategic philanthropy
What do we want?
17. Steps in building 360giving (hyperlinks)
• Develop a data standard
• Test it with some data
• Get some data for testing
• Do something with the standardised data
• Talk with some academic analysts
• Bring more partners on board
18. Things we don’t yet have (July 2014):
• Registry
• Non-360 products i.e. things other people have built
using 360 data
• Fully worked through all the issues
• A .org to run it
• Highly granular data – it’s early days yet
Things we don’t want
• A paid for library model
• Regulatory backing
• Explicit government backing
