Publishing workshops
How to prepare 360Giving data
Cost: Free
This workshop focuses in detail on how to prepare 360Giving data, whether you are sharing data for the first time or making updates to existing data.
Featuring a mixture of guidance, how-to demos and Q&A the session covers the key things you need to know to get started on preparing and sharing 360Giving data. Topics covered include field guidance, top tips for using Excel to transform data, using the Data Quality Tool and guidance on publishing and updating 360Giving data files.
This workshop is best for grantmakers who have attended an Introduction to Publishing workshop, as well as those taking over responsibility for publishing in their organisation.
Publishing grants to individuals data
Cost: Free
For the past year 360Giving has been working to develop the 360Giving Data Standard to enable the responsible sharing of information about grants to individuals. This workshop will enable funders of grants to individuals to find out more about the 360Giving publishing process and the support available from our friendly team. Through a live demonstration we will guide you through the key stages – from planning your approach, preparing the data and publishing the information openly.
There will be time for questions throughout the workshop and a Q&A at the end, but for those with any further questions we will be staying on for a further 15 minutes after the session ends.
Please note, this workshop is for UK funders who give grants to individuals, and is the ideal session for those who want to understand more about the 360Giving publishing process and the support available.
Introduction to the DEI Data Standard
Cost: Free
In 2020, 360Giving started work with the DEI Data Group to create the DEI Data Standard, a shared taxonomy and approach to support funders to understand the equity of their grantmaking.
This workshop will introduce you to the DEI Data Standard, give background on why and how it was developed and outline the options for implementation. We’ll then explore how funders can approach collecting DEI Data Standard data about their grants and the next steps if they want to share the data collected using this framework using the 360Giving Data Standard.
There will be time for questions throughout the workshop and a Q&A at the end, but for those with any further questions we will be staying on for a further 15 minutes after the session ends.
This session is designed for UK funders wanting to learn more about the DEI Data Standard and how they can start collecting equity data.
Skills workshops
Intersectional data analysis
Cost: Free for 360Giving publishers, £50 for other non-profits, £100 for corporates
With Tania Cohen
Intersectionality is increasingly a buzzword – but undertaking multi-dimensional data analysis is easier said than done, and is often not done well in practice. As funders are collecting more data, particularly equity data, learning how to interpret, use and present this data responsibly is more important than ever.
In this interactive online workshop, attendees will learn about the common challenges and pitfalls in intersectional data analysis, and explore options to use and report on multi-dimensional data.
We will use Excel, including pivot tables, to demonstrate the manipulation of the data, so familiarity of Excel would be helpful for attendees, but the principles are the same regardless of the tools used.
With support from our host, Tania Cohen, attendees will have the opportunity to explore examples and ask questions about different scenarios. After the workshop there will also be the option to book a free 1-1 intersectional data support session with Tania, should you wish to discuss any aspects of the workshop in further detail or have further questions on analysing intersectional data.
This workshop is designed for people who work for grantmaking organisations who are familiar with Excel, and want to learn more about how they can undertake intersectional analysis and present multi-dimensional data, particularly equity data.
