Digital Impact was created by the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford PACS and was managed until 2024. It is no longer being updated.
Digital Impact shares ideas and fosters innovation to advance the safe, ethical and effective use of digital data for a higher impact social sector. Below you will find current grant opportunities, events and resources designed to support this mission.
Digital Impact Grants fund research and innovation to strengthen the safe, ethical, and effective use of digital resources in civil society. A fundamental goal of the program is to support better data-informed decision making in philanthropy (particularly individual giving) and in the social sector writ large.
The program awards grants for two types of projects: scholarly research and sector advancement. Our aim is to foster innovations and research that have broad application for improving knowledge, practices, and outcomes across the social sector.
The Digital Impact Toolkit (at digitalimpact.io) is designed to help nonprofit organizations and foundations use digital data safely, ethically and effectively. The site is home to community-curated tools, policy templates, and guidelines to help the staff of civil society organizations build digital data governance programs that align with their missions and capacities.
