360Giving 10th Anniversary Board

“I’m very proud to have been involved along the way, having initially led the publishing of our Sport England awards data back at the start of 2018 and then being part of the 360Giving Stewardship Committee.

You should all be very proud of what has been achieved and I very much look forward to seeing what the future holds!”

Neil Smith, Programme Manager, Sport England

“360Giving has been transformational for transparency in the sector. For Cloudesley as a local funder, it allows us to see what organisations are being funded in our area, by whom and at what level. Among other uses, this helped to inform our review of our Health Grants programme. It is great to see how 360Giving has developed over the years, and we are very grateful to the wonderful team for their support with our publishing. In addition to our grants to organisations, we have recently also started publishing our grants for individuals, giving an even more accurate picture of where our funding is going. We are proud to be a 360Giving publisher.”

Catherine Sorrell, Grants Manager, Cloudesley

“I’ve loved watching 360Giving go from strength to strength. I look forward to seeing everything you achieve in the next 10 years.”

Rachel Rank, Consultant and founding CEO of 360Giving

“Happy Birthday to everyone at 360Giving. Delighted to be a partner and supporter.”

Ben Cairns, Director, Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR)

“Over the past decade, the dedicated 360Giving team have championed open data in grant-making—convincing, cajoling, and collaborating to make transparency the norm. Their work has been instrumental in helping the sector use data more effectively to inform strategy and decision-making.

A big thank you from me for all the help and advice I’ve received from them over the years.”

Patrick O’Kelly, Head of Funding Partnerships, Resonance Limited

“360Giving has been transformational for the sector. It has also be transformational for me and many others that have been lucky enough to be part of the journey…It lives its values, and in doing so, facilitated my involvement through babies, house-moves, chaos…What have I learned? Give your time and energy to good ideas and good people. It’ll support you in ways you can’t even imagine.

Happy birthday and thank you, 360Giving!”

Anna de Pulford, Philanthropy Advisor and Trustee of Thread Ahead

“Happy 10th birthday to 360Giving, founded by the legendary Francesca Perrin, OBE, and under the leadership of the most fantastic Tania Cohen MBE and Fozia Irfan OBE.

If you don’t know 360Giving, it has entirely transformed the philanthropy and grantmaking sector in the UK – making it open and transparent as the default, and has made it a lot more strategic and equitable.

I was very honoured to be Trustee and to have collaborated to launch the DEI Data Standard. What attracted me to the organisation is not just its mission, but also its values – especially its commitment to inclusion.

360Giving is still one of the few organisations that explicitly states in their policy, that they will pay for childcare expenses (which I have happily made use of) to enable Board members to attend meetings…They normalised being a parent, and an active participant working in social impact. They truly walked the talk.

Thank you Fran and the team for all that you’ve done for the sector, and happy birthday!”

Bonnie Chiu, Managing Director, The Social Investment Consultancy
