Hi, I'm Chad 👋

I build tools that help nonprofits leverage the power of the open source community.

The impact of your contribution

A contribution means you believe in open data. It means you support new models for ensuring nonprofit grants data remains free and open for everyone, regardless of a nonprofit organization's ability to afford expensive subscription-based databases.

Nonprofits + open source = 🚀

What I do

I'm the creator of Grantmakers.io, which in its five year existence has become one of the largest free sources of searchable philanthropic data on the Internet. It's fully open source, non-commercial, and hosted right here on Github via Github Pages...for free (thank you Github!).

Some of my other projects in the charitable sector include:

• Nonprofit starter website template
  Complete with online donations and newsletter signup

• Foundation website template
  Adopted by a regional association of grantmakers to help members establish their first online presence.

• IRS 990 Fetch
  The Node scripts that power Grantmakers.io

• IRS 990 Viewer
  Chrome extension to directly view, format, and search the IRS 990 XML files

• hGrant JSON
  The hGrant spec converted to JSON schema

• SDG Predictor
  Classifies a string of text according to the most relevant U.N. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)

Donation options

Don't have a Github account or prefer to support at a different level? Additional options can be found at the donate page on Grantmakers.io.
