Open Data

We have released data on the grants we have awarded since 2013. On this page you can find full lists of all the grants OCF has made in that time.

What is open data?
Oxfordshire Community Foundation subscribes to the following definition of open data:

Open data are data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone.
It is subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.
Open data are the building blocks of open knowledge.
Open knowledge is what open data becomes when it’s useful, usable and used.
Oxfordshire Community Foundation is committed to a strong community and voluntary sector in Oxfordshire. We believe that open data can assist with this ambition, through enabling transparency of our actions, in the form of open data.

That our data are useful

That our data are meaningful
We wish to publish data that add to the ongoing dialogue and discussion about the sector.

That our data are accessible
We wish to publish data in an open and accessible way, and provide regular narrative and understanding to the stakeholders.
In this context, Oxfordshire Community Foundation aims to operate an open data policy that is robust and practical, leading to greater engagement in the issues faced by the community and voluntary sector in Oxfordshire.
