FoundationSearch Canada - Enhancements Summary


Over 170,000 grants have been entered from the T3010 information returns for the years 1999-2004 with more added each week.

This represents over $9.4 billion in recent giving. FoundationSearch utilizes advanced data visualization software to provide intuitive access to this granting information.

By using an interactive grant distribution map or "Visualizer" you are now able to display multi-level granting activity for the entire country.
