IT ALSO OPERATES RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND TRAINING PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF PHILANTHROPY AT EVERY LEVEL. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE VISIT THE CENTER'S WEB SITE EACH DAY AND ARE SERVED IN ITS FIVE REGIONAL LIBRARY/LEARNING CENTERS AND ITS NETWORK OF MORE THAN 475 FIN PARTNERS LOCATED IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES, COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS, AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS NATIONWIDE AND AROUND THE WORLD.
PROGRAM SERVICES - DATA COLLECTION AND PUBLICATIONS	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A DATA COLLECTION AND PUBLICATIONS (EXPENSES $9,079,171 AND REVENUE $11,338,221) THE CENTER MAINTAINS UNIQUE DATABASES OF INFORMATION ON MORE THAN 140,000 FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE DONORS, AND GRANTMAKING PUBLIC CHARITIES WORLDWIDE AND OVER 3.8 MILLION OF THEIR RECENT GRANTS. ITS FOUNDATION DIRECTORY ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE IS THE MOST POPULAR MEANS FOR SEARCHING THESE DATABASES. THIS SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR FREE USE IN OVER 475 LOCATIONS NATIONWIDE AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE CENTER ALSO PUBLISHES BOOKS RANGING FROM BASIC PRIMERS ON FUNDRAISING AND NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE WORKS. OTHER MAJOR DATA COLLECTION AND PUBLICATIONS PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2014 INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: PARTNERSHIPS TO IMPROVE DATA COLLECTION, MANAGEMENT, AND SHARING ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE FOUNDATION CENTER IS CULTIVATING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH OFFICIAL AID AND PHILANTHROPY SUPPORT NETWORKS AND FORGING NEW PARTNERSHIPS. THE CENTER IS MAKING SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN ITS DECADE-LONG EFFORTS TO IMPROVE DATA ABOUT FOUNDATION GIVING AS WELL AS ITS INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE DATA ON NEW FORMS OF PHILANTHROPY. DATA PROCESSING AND TAXONOMY ----------------------------- THE CENTER HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED A STRATEGY FOR PROCESSING GRANTS DATA THROUGH AUTOMATION AND OUTSOURCING, AND HAS EXPANDED THE BREADTH AND QUALITY OF DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL DATA. IN ORDER TO SERVE THE SECTOR'S GROWING RANGE OF PHILANTHROPIC CONTRIBUTIONS, THE CENTER FOCUSED ON THE NEED TO UPDATE ITS TAXONOMY SO THAT USERS COULD COMPARE THEIR ACTIVITIES OR CONDUCT GLOBAL SCALE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH. WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT, THE CENTER COMPLETED A REVISED DRAFT OF THE TAXONOMY AND STARTED IMPLEMENTING SMARTLOGIC'S SEMAPHORE TAXONOMY TOOL. AFTER RECEIVING COMMENTS FROM OVER 50 ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS, THE CENTER EVALUATED FEEDBACK AND TERM SUGGESTIONS, AND IN NOVEMBER FINALIZED THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE NEW TAXONOMY, WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT TAXONOMY.FOUNDATIONCENTER.ORG. THE CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SITE THROUGH EARLY 2015. ELECTRONIC GRANT REPORTING ---------------------------- THE CENTER CONTINUED TO BE A LEADING DRIVER IN ESTABLISHING DATA STANDARDS FOR PHILANTHROPY. ITS ONGOING WORK TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVE REPORTING ALLOWS FOUNDATIONS TO MORE EFFICIENTLY AND ACCURATELY TRANSMIT THEIR GRANTS ELECTRONICALLY (EREPORTING). THE CENTER HAS INTENSIFIED EFFORTS TO CONVERT GRANTMAKERS INTO EREPORTERS, AND CONTINUES TO SEE A STEADY INCREASE: - CURRENTLY THERE ARE 937 EGRANT REPORTERS. - SINCE EARLY 2014, THE CENTER HAS FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING COLLABORATION WITH IDEALWARE-IDENTIFYING AND RECRUITING NEW SOFTWARE PARTNERS. IDEALWARE AGREED TO MAKE EREPORTING A KEY GAGE IN THE NEXT CONSUMERS GUIDE TO GRANTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS.

IN MARCH 2014, THE CENTER RELEASED A COMPLETELY REBUILT FDO THAT INCLUDES A NEW MORE POWERFUL SEARCH ENGINE AND FULLY MOBILE-RESPONSIVE SITE. THESE IMPROVEMENTS GREATLY ENHANCE THE USER EXPERIENCE AND WILL FACILITATE ONGOING PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS. AN IMPROVED FOUNDATION CENTER UPDATER [UPDATER.FOUNDATIONCENTER.ORG] ALLOWS GRANTMAKERS TO MAKE DIRECT UPDATES TO THEIR FDO PROFILE. FDO PROFESSIONAL'S POWER SEARCH INCLUDES ISSUELAB REPORTS SO THAT SEARCH RESULTS NOW REFERENCE THIS LARGE, COMPREHENSIVE SET OF RESEARCH REPORTS PRODUCED BY THE PHILANTHROPIC SECTOR. A MAJOR PLANNED ENHANCEMENT TO BE RELEASED IN THE COMING YEAR IS FDO WORKSPACE, WHICH WILL ENABLE USERS TO MOVE FROM THE FUNDING SEARCH THROUGH THE NEXT STAGES OF THE GRANTSEEKING PROCESS USING A STEP-BY-STEP ASSESSMENT TOOL, KEEPING TRACK OF THEIR CONTACTS AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH THOSE FUNDERS, MANAGING A TO-DO LIST, AND KEEPING NOTES ON PROSPECTS AND GRANT REQUESTS. INTERNATIONAL DATA -------------------- STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS HAS BEEN INTEGRAL TO THE CENTER'S SUCCESS IN BUILDING A SYSTEMATIC BASE OF KNOWLEDGE ON GLOBAL PHILANTHROPY.

THE CENTER'S DATABASE NOW INCLUDES PHILANTHROPIC DATA FROM 126 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES, AND IT CONTINUES TO SEEK POTENTIAL NEW PARTNERS. TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROWING TREND OF PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITY THAT GOES BEYOND TRADITIONAL GRANTMAKING, THE CENTER BEGAN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE EUROPEAN VENTURE PHILANTHROPY ASSOCIATION AND IS CURRENTLY ASSESSING A SAMPLE OF THEIR DATA. THE CENTER IS STUDYING A LIST OF 534 POTENTIAL FOUNDATIONS FROM THE SWEDISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION AGENCY'S CSO DATABASE FOR POTENTIAL INCLUSION AS WELL. THE CENTER CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT (OECD) IN PARIS, MAPPING ITS RESPECTIVE STANDARDS AND TAXONOMIES, AND ALLOWING FOR CROSS-POLLINATION OF DATA TO BE USED IN RESEARCH AND PORTALS. THE CENTER'S EFFORTS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY BY WORKING WITH PARTNERS ARE PROVING EFFECTIVE. IT PROVIDES A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ORGANIZATIONS IN VARIOUS REGIONS CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AND HELPS TO PROMOTE TRANSPARENCY, KNOWLEDGE SHARING, AND IMPACT IN THE SECTOR.
