360Giving Data
At 360Giving, we help grantmakers of all types and sizes publish open data about who, what and where they fund using the 360Giving Data Standard.
This means that funders are sharing information about their grantmaking in a way that others can access and use for free. Because the data is standardised, it can be looked at and analysed all together, helping us all to understand grantmaking across the UK.
Use the data
Whether you’re a grantmaker, analyst, academic or researcher, there are many ways you can use 360Giving data to answer your questions or tackle a data project.
Who uses the data?
- Funders use the data and tools to see where they fit in the UK grantmaking picture. This helps them understand themselves better and coordinate with other funders.
- Charities use the data and tools to explore funding for their cause, and to support research and planning.
- Researchers, academics and technical users use the data to get a better picture of what is being funded and delivered across the UK.
