UKGrantmaking is a collaborative project brought to you by:

  • 360Giving

    360Giving helps funders publish open data about their grants and supports people to use this data to improve charitable giving. The vision is for grantmaking in the UK to become more informed, effective and strategic.

    360Giving’s aim is for more money to go to where it is needed most to support communities and causes through a more informed understanding of the grantmaking picture. It helps people to access and use the data by creating the tools to make it easy to explore, download and visualise, as well as providing training, support and research to help people get the most out of it.

    360Giving is the lead for this collaboration and manages the platform and data.

    The Association of Charitable Organisations (ACO) is the membership body for charities that provide financial and wellbeing support to individuals.

  • UK Community Foundations

    UK Community Foundations (UKCF) works with community foundations to inspire place-based philanthropy, bring communities together and fund vital work in neighbourhoods across the UK. Each community foundation is deeply rooted in place, drawing on decades of knowledge, relationships and expertise in the areas where they operate. At the national level, UKCF works with strategic partners to pilot new neighbourhood ideas and scale existing solutions, making sure resources reach people and communities where they are needed the most.

    UKCF is the lead contributor on the community foundations section.

  • London Funders

    London Funders is the only cross-sector membership network for funders and investors in London’s civil society. Their membership ranges from trust and foundations to corporates, from hyper-local to national funders. Their purpose is to bring funders together to build a better London by taking action on what matters to our city and our communities. They do this through: enabling a movement of members to have strong and trusted connections, based on shared values and ambitions; facilitating and leading collaborative programmes where only working together can achieve the change that’s needed; and by driving a learning culture, where shared data, intelligence and insight leads to better decision-making and action.

    London Funders is the lead contributor on the London focus section.
