Data used in GrantNav

Data published using the 360Giving Data Standard is identified through the 360Giving Registry. An up-to-date list of publishers from the Registry can be accessed via the Data Quality Dashboard.

The 360Giving Datasets Used table below lists the specific datasets used in GrantNav, how they are licensed, and when they were retrieved.

We also augment the data in GrantNav using location and organisation data from other sources. All data from external sources is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 unless otherwise specified.

Updates to data in GrantNav

GrantNav is updated on a daily basis. In order for data to be included in updates of GrantNav, the dataset needs to meet these three criteria:

• Listed on the 360Giving Data Registry;
• Openly licensed;
• Valid according to the schema used for the 360Giving Data Standard.

The data listed on the 360Giving Data Registry is downloaded each day into the 360Giving Datastore. The Datastore then creates a data package which is loaded into Grantnav.

When GrantNav is updated, the data included may change. There are several reasons for this:

• An organisation has updated its data to include more grants
• New organisations have published data in the 360Giving Data Standard
• Data that was previously in GrantNav is no longer available
• We have received a request from an organisation to take their data down

If a dataset linked from the 360Giving Data Registry becomes invalid according to the 360Giving Data Standard schema or temporarily unavailable, for example because the location of the dataset has changed, the data package loaded into GrantNav will use the last valid downloaded version of the dataset. The 360Giving Datastore keeps a backup version of each dataset for 90 days. If a dataset remains invalid or unavailable the data will disappear from GrantNav after 91 days. In these cases, 360Giving will work closely with the relevant organisation to ensure continued access to their data in GrantNav.

Take down requests - requests to remove data listed on the 360Giving Data Registry or data from GrantNav - are managed by a separate process which is not affected by the daily update and backup cycles. This process is detailed in our Take Down Policy.
