GitHub Sponsors Profile

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)
