Sector initiatives

Demographics via Candid
Demographics via Candid empowers nonprofits to share their demographic data one time on their Candid profile, where it can be accessed and re-used by all. Through this sector initiative, Candid freely provides our funder partners with nonprofit demographic data to make the granting process less burdensome and more efficient.

Fiscally sponsored projects
Fiscally sponsored projects are vital yet often overlooked contributors to the social sector. With an estimated 40,000 projects driving critical community work, their impact is immense. However, limited visibility restricts their access to funding and nonprofit resources.
Candid is working to change that. By collaborating with fiscal sponsors and partners, we’re gathering data to make these projects visible in Candid search—amplifying their reach and impact.

Grants reporting
When foundations share information about their grants, it benefits the entire social sector. Gain insights into your impact, empower nonprofits, and unlock free access to Foundation Maps, Candid’s premier visualization tool.
