Open Data and Research

Details for collaborators and co-problem solvers

At GlobalGiving, we believe that good ideas can come from anyone, at any place, at any time, and that collaboration and iteration leads to the most effective learning. We love opportunities to work with external researchers or others interested in using our open data sources to build understanding about how best to transform aid and philanthropy. We have several open data resources available to support projects like this.

Please note that all use of GlobalGiving open data is subject to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We do not share any personal data with anyone, except in the handful of specific situations outlined in our Privacy Policy. Additionally, use of our API is subject to our API Terms of Service.
