Foundation Center
To support the development of web interfaces and an application programming interface to the Foundation Center's rich store of philanthropic data
Funds from this grant support a project by the Foundation Center, a nonprofit organization that aggregates records from hundreds of foundations, to enhance the usefulness and accessibility of its data. Supported activities include the development of an application programming interface (API) to allow direct computational access the Foundation Center's database, enabling the third party developers to create apps or other programs that usefully access Foundation Center data. Also supported are efforts to enhance the Foundation Center's website, promoting more sophisticated database queries and the visualization of data showing grantmaking trends. This project is jointly supported by grants from the Knight Foundation and the Commonwealth Fund
