360 Giving Open data for more effective grantmaking @360 Giving

What we do We support organisations to publish their grants data in an open and standardised way, and help people to understand use the data as part of a more innovative and informed approach to grantmaking.

Data to help answer questions Who else is funding these organisations/sectors? I care about x region - is enough funding going there? How can I make my applications more targeted? Am I duplicating work that others are doing?
