5: Information Infrastructure
Collect and deploy capital to fund a strengthened information infrastructure. Other Information:
Support Key Initiatives. This is ultimately about supporting the work that will strengthen the information infrastructure
in the social sector. The goal is to collect and deploy capital to fund a strengthened information infrastructure, with a
focus on supporting sustainable business models, strengthening existing efforts, and fostering new opportunities for collaboration.
The funding will include supporting both: - Shovel-ready projects that meet identified needs through projects that have already
been seeded. For example, these projects could include: - Furthering current initiatives that still require support to get
to scale, such as the Reporting Commitment, Unique ID's, Form 990 and others (see descriptions in section 7, "The right place
to start, the right the time to act") - Supporting beneficiary feedback by helping organizations working on this today to
improve and scale - Supporting a common nonprofit profile, in which nonprofits could provide a common set of information once
and have it be updated across multiple sites automatically - Supporting common technical standards, such as common Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs), to allow information to be accessed more easily - Future pilots and projects that address additional
needs. This will include funding to stimulate and accelerate new ideas and pilot projects, as well as substantial grants or
investments to enable organizations to develop and scale the most important elements of the information infrastructure
