David Kane, 360Giving
Unlocking the potential of your data
30th January 2020

2. Why 360Giving?
“It’s not about transparency at all. It’s self interest...I want to
know what people are doing so I can learn from them, I can
collaborate with them and I can get better at my job…
You wouldn’t try to do financial investments without any
information, with no FTSE 100, with no Reuters.”
Fran Perrin, founder of the Indigo Trust and 360Giving, The Giving Thought podcast 17 July 2018
