A rundown of the work that was completed in Fall 2021 from September 2021 to December 2021

Towards an open data on the graph for representation of relationships between grant-making organizations and grant-receiving organizations (with everything in-between!)

Contribute to the open knowledge of open grants commons by following some of these simple rules

An early whitepaper of our vision for what Philanthrolytics can be

Summer projects and collaborations

This publication is meant to serve as a reference for participants in Philanthrobotics and the Open Grants Commons who want to understand the underlying structure of our knowledge graph. There are also some slight updates to our other work maintained here.

In this publication, we outline a simple model for formulating data sharing agreements (DSAs). We use a common framework of 5W1H to guide conversations between organizations who want to share data with Philanthrobotics.

In this publication, we explore our process for finding a shared schema of applicant data amongst our partner organizations. This includes the methodology we used for finding the schema, the queries for aligning the data, and the descriptions of shared columns (and near misses)

Today we release our data analyses and dashboards: a key feature to the analytics we hope to offer the philanthropy community.

This publication outlines the procedure by which Philanthrobotics followed to share data across our partner organizations. The publications offers links to relevant data sharing templates, including our own data sharing agreeement, & a repository of common data sharing documents

In this publication, we outline step-by-step instructions to join Philanthrobotics

In this publication we describe our ongoing partnership with OGrants, a project funded by Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Philanthropy Data Commons

In this publication, we develop methodologies for analyzing keywords in grant proposals across three organizations: Wellcome Trust, Lever for Change, and MIT Solve. We use a previously established framework by Homeworld Collective.

By sharing knowledge and data, grant makers can make their giving more accessible, equitable, and — crucially — effective.
