Authorised domains

By default, the website domain used by existing publishers to host their 360Giving data files will be authorised.

Organisations that publish 360Giving data for the first time can also use the 360Giving data file submission process once they have registered their website domain with 360Giving. To register to your website domain prior to publishing for the first time please contact 360Giving Helpdesk via support@threesixtygiving.org.

Publishers can opt out of authorising their website domain and using the 360Giving data file submission process on request.

Which domains are not authorised?

Data files published on multi-user hosting platforms like open data repositories, or file sharing services Google Sheets or Dropbox, cannot be authorised for use with the 360Giving data file submission process because the domain cannot be authorised as being unique to a particular organisation.

Files published in this way can be added to the 360Giving Data Registry by emailing 360Giving Helpdesk via support@threesixtygiving.org.
