360Giving’s vision is for grantmaking in the UK to become more informed, effective, and strategic. 360Giving helps organisations openly publish grants data, and helps people use it to improve charitable giving.
They were set up in 2015 because their founder, philanthropist Fran Perrin, couldn’t find the information she needed to inform her funding decisions. Their mission is to help UK funders publish open, standardised grants data, and empower people to use it to improve charitable giving.
360Giving supports people to publish their data in the 360Giving Data Standard. They also help people to access and use the data, and have created tools to make it easy to explore, download, and visualise the data.
When funders publish information on who, where and what they fund in the 360Giving Data Standard it means they are sharing it in a way that others can access and use for free. Because the data is standardised, it can be looked at and compared all together, helping readers to see and understand grantmaking across the UK. Having this information means funding can be more informed and effective.
