Data used in GrantNav

The data used by GrantNav is open data. GrantNav contains:

• Data published to the 360Giving Data Standard
• Data derived from Code-Point Open
• Data derived from Charity Commission data
• Data derived from Northern Ireland Ward to Council Area Lookup

Data published to the 360Giving Data Standard is taken from an up to date list on the 360Giving website. The 360Giving Datasets Used table below lists the specific datasets used in GrantNav, how they are licensed, and when they were retrieved.

We use the Code-Point Open data to augment some of the location data. We use the Charity Commission data to look up charity names. Both these datasets are licensed under an Open Government License.

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 30 days. If a dataset remains invalid or unavailable the data will disappear from GrantNav after 31 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.
