The 3FPD Proposal Bank is a curated collection of proposals from organizations working to strengthen and protect the public data ecosystem. Proposals are organized by priority areas so funders can quickly identify aligned work and coordinate support across the field.
The movement to protect public data in 2025 is, at its core, a movement to protect the ability of people -especially children, families, and marginalized communities - to be seen, counted, and served. 3FPD exists to help philanthropy play its part in that fight: not by replacing government, but by strengthening the ecosystem that ensures public data remains public.
