Get on the Map

“Get on the Map” with Philanthropy WV

What is Get on the Map?

Philanthropy WV encourages its members to participate in the current standard of e-reporting grants data.  Foundation Center by Candid and the United Philanthropy Forum have partnered to bring you “Get on the Map“, a data sharing tool designed to dramatically improve the quality and availability of giving data for your region.  This data mapping tool is available at no cost to your foundation through its Philanthropy WV membership.  We have worked with a Foundation Center representative to assist our members in uploading more descriptive grants data. For more information check out their website or email us at info@philanthropywv.org.

The mapping tool will display grantmaking data provided by members who choose to participate. Participation is entirely voluntary.  Currently, there are 4 participating members (and 1 nonmember) sharing their grants data on the map.  The more members participating the better the map will serve your grantmaking abilities.  Search for information on:

  • who else is funding a particular issue in a region
  • what organizations are tackling that issue
  • what are the funder partnership opportunities
  • who may be natural collaborators

Get on the Map is NOT a solicitation tool; rather, it is a peer-to-peer platform for Philanthropy WV members to enhance their grantmaking by understanding where grant dollars are currently going in our state.  Because this is populated with grantmaking data provided by our members, the more members who volunteer to share their data the more useful the map.
