Suggestion: Total funding #379

Open stevieflow opened 7 years ago

From 360Giving board member:

Could we consider adding the 'total value of grants' as a headline stat on the grantvav homepage? I think it is more powerful than the number of publishers...though realise the wording would need to be careful to account for re-granting.

Katherine made a great point that this will be heard to calculate mainly because of currencies - do we convert them all to GBP? If so, how we choose to convert them if we don't know the date they were paid. @KDuerden

Just adding this to hear if ever want to look at it.

Also - we run a high risk of double counting instances where grants are to regrant, etc

I think there are a few too many reasons to avoid this

NB: you can get this by a blank search :

billions

.. which does in turn raise the same issues

The publishers with multiple currencies are putting the value in that currency at time of the award. GrantNav isn't making any change or converting, so a total of value of grants is not adding up apples and apples.. I have worked with one that had also captured the GBP amount (eg what it was at exchange rate at point of payment) but they ended up just putting all their grants in GBP as it was simpler. Quixote Fdn is all USD!

I agree that adding up the value is a real risk for double counting and currency reasons.

OK - we need to clarify that before anything else: https://github.com/OpenDataServices/grantnav/issues/387

To be considered again post regranting working group

We do display the total amount on the Quality Dashboard though https://qualitydashboard.threesixtygiving.org/alldata
