Imagine being able to see who is funding what and where - anywhere in Missouri, anytime, and with just a few clicks.
Access to accurate, up-to-date grantmaking data is critical to understanding the funding landscape and ensuring that your giving is as effective as it can be. To improve the quality, timeliness, and availability of rich grant data, this initiative:
- Captures grantmaking data through an online mapping tool
- Provides your organization with access to Foundation Maps, which will include all submitted grantmaking data from Missouri
- Is provided through partnership between Philanthropy Missouri, the Foundation Center, and the United Philanthropy Forum
Participation matters: Only when our community of funders commits to sharing data will the Foundation Maps platform reach its full potential as a powerful source of accurate, up-to-date answers to questions like...
- Who else if funding a particular issue in our region?
- What organizations are tackling that issue?
- Who is working with specific populations in our community?
- Who may be natural collaborators?
- Where are there gaps in funding?
- How much money is collectively going to specific issues or area in our region?
- What are strategies at play?
