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.
