he BRIDGE project aims to revolutionize information sharing in order to better understand and track the flows of philanthropic dollars and thereby enhance transparency and effectiveness in the global social sector. Funded by Google Inc., the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and with support from the Markets for Good community, the BRIDGE project has reached a major milestone: the launch of a lookup tool, which is now available on this website.

Already there are nearly three million BRIDGE numbers assigned worldwide, a result of synchronizing information from the databases of founding partners Foundation Center, GlobalGiving, GuideStar, and TechSoup. Ongoing synchronization makes it easier to share and compare data among databases.

Thanks! I reminds me a lot of Reuter's Open Calais permid tool which is for news stories. Put a news article in, and do Entity Extraction, article tagging – similar numbers for newsworthy persons, businesses.

Useful for research even if not 'spooky' – or maybe it is, when the bird sings.
