At 360Giving, our vision is for UK grantmaking to be more informed, effective and strategic. We help funders publish their grants data openly – in a standard format for anyone to find online and use for free. This helps funders understand themselves better and find opportunities to collaborate, and gives us all a fuller picture of grantmaking in the UK, informing policy and practice.
