For Ecosystem Partners

Build on infrastructure designed for the sector — not around it.

Every platform in this space solves the same data problem independently. PDC offers a shared, consent-based data layer — open-source, sector-governed, and built to reduce duplication across the ecosystem.

Why Connect and build on the PDC

Open-source. Sector-governed. Already in production.

PDC is built in the open, governed by the organizations it serves, and actively integrated by leading grantmaking platforms.

Build on it, contribute to it, or help shape its roadmap.

Technology integration, network reach, and ecosystem growth are what ecosystem partners contribute to PDC — and what they benefit from in return.

Ecosystem Partners may include technology platforms, grants management systems, philanthropic networks, sector intermediaries, and others.

— that help expand PDC’s reach, adoption, and impact.

Engage through investment, technology integration, thought partnership, or network engagement.

There’s no single path — we’re building this together.
