I know beneficiary location has been raised as a possible new field before, and would be complex to deliver, but it would be great to see. We are constantly trying to evaluate the impact that funding has made, and spot funding gaps, but this is difficult to do without having an aggregate picture of beneficiaries in an area.
Below is my wish list of information which would help to achieve this aim - a lot of this exists already, but some would be new fields:
- beneficiary location
- organisational location
- organisation size
- type of funding: core/ project/ grant purpose
- length of funding
- funding amount
- collaboration
- services provided by the funding e.g. adult care, children’s, public health, arts etc
