ABSTRACT
Digital Impact is an initiative of the Digital Civil Society Lab at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society. They work to improve the digital infrastructure for civil society and help social sector practitioners and policymakers use digital resources safely, ethically, and effectively. Digital Impact is made possible with the ongoing support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the progressive financial firm Liquidnet, and Knight Foundation.
Digital Impact Grants launched in 2016 to support research and sector-wide strategies to strengthen the safe, ethical and effective use of digital resources in civil society, and to support better data-informed decision making in philanthropy (particularly individual giving) and in the social sector writ large.
Grants are awarded for two types of projects: scholarly research and sector advancement. We aim to support research, prototypes, and shared learning that can help donors and social sector organizations use digital data safely, ethically, and effectively to improve their work.
