For the first time, foundations are coding grants for geo-area served according to a common standard. The resulting interactive map provides an ever-growing picture of the philanthropic landscape.
Although the map represents only a small portion of the participating foundations' overall giving, this knowledge tool is constantly being updated as we receive more and more grants information from foundations as part of this open data initiative. As the amount of data reported continues to grow over time, so, too, does our knowledge about the national and global reach of grantmaking programs and current trends in foundation giving.
