The Value of eGrant and hGrant Reporting


View a list of
eGrant reporters»

The Foundation Center's eGrant and hGrant Reporting Programs enable grantmakers to quickly and easily share grants data, and equips you with interactive maps that showcase your grants activity.

Through the eGrant Reporting program, you can submit your grants electronically to the Foundation Center on a regular basis, expediting their inclusion in Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the nation's most widely used searchable database of U.S. grantmakers and their grants, and Philanthropy In/Sight, the Foundation Center's tool for tracking the work of foundations worldwide.

Participants in the eGrant Reporting Program are provided with fully functional, interactive Philanthropy In/Sight maps that reflect your grantmaking activity. These complimentary maps benefit both internal and external stakeholders, and can be used by your staff, included in presentations to your board, or posted on your intranet or public web site.

eGrant Reporters are also recognized in FDO: funder profiles are marked with a special icon identifying them as a Program participant.

Additionally, eGrant reporting benefits grantmakers and the broader field of philanthropy by:

  • making available richer, more descriptive, and accurate grants information
  • communicating information about a funder's most current grants to thousands of FDO and In/Sight users
  • providing greater control over descriptive tags that can be applied to each grant – which ultimately ensures greater accuracy in reporting
  • improving the quality of the data used in many other Foundation Center publications, products, and research reports

How to Become an eGrant Reporter

It's easy to share your grants data with the Foundation Center. Grantmakers have the option to:

  • submit a formatted electronic file in Excel
  • create a file using the grants management software of one of our eGrant Reporting Partners
  • enable grants data to be pulled directly from your web site or feeds through the hGrant format

Learn more about submitting data using an electronic file or grants management software.
