The Open hGrant Plugin is a WordPress plugin that helps grantmakers publish and report grant data from any grants management system to both their websites and to machine-readable open data initiatives, such as the Foundation Center’s Reporting Commitment.

== Description ==

The Open hGrant Plugin is a WordPress plugin that helps grantmakers publish and report grant data from any grants management system to both their websites and to machine-readable open data initiatives, such as the Foundation Center’s <a href="http://glasspockets.org/philanthropy-in-focus/reporting-commitment-map">Reporting Commitment</a>.

With the Open hGrant Plugin installed, WordPress  creates a new 'grant' post type that includes core information about each grant, and additional fields specified by the <a href="http://foundationcenter.org/grantmakers/hgrant.html">hGrant format</a> supported by <a href="http://foundationcenter.org/">The Foundation Center</a>, a leading source of information on philanthropy, fundraising, and grant programs. These posts can then be displayed on your site via a customizable, sortable, searchable index. They are also published to an independent hGrant-compatible feed. For a live example, see the grant listings on the WordPress site operated by plugin sponsor, <a href="http://www.haassr.org/recent-grantmaking/">The Walter &amp; Elise Haas Fund</a>. For a description of the hGrant specification, download <a href="http://foundationcenter.org/grantmakers/hGrant_Spec.pdf">this PDF.</a>

Please note that the Open hGrant Plugin is designed to automatically report published grant data to the Foundation Center and, by default, to the <a href="http://www.aidtransparency.net/">International Aid Transparency Initiative</a> (IATI).
