360 Giving Open data for more effective grantmaking @360 Giving #Big. Network. Day
What we want Our vision is that UK grantmaking is more informed, effective and strategic. #Big. Network. Day
What we do • Founded by a philanthropist who asked “How can I do as much as possible with my money? ” • Wanted to know who was funding what, where & when • Support funders to publish their grants data openly and to use the data as part of a more informed approach to decision-making and learning. #Big. Network. Day
Supporting collaboration “It’s not about transparency at all. It’s self interest. . . I want to know what people are doing so I can learn from them, I can collaborate with them and I can get better at my job. It’s about making informed choices. Philanthropy can feel a bit like giving in the dark and I just want us to have better information so we can make the best decisions. ” Fran Perrin, founder of the Indigo Trust and 360 Giving Thought podcast, July 2018 #Big. Network. Day
