This is the public provenance table: source owner, source URL, collection method, cadence, licence posture and caveats.

Entities
https://www.civicgraph.au/giving/sources
Source agencies and CivicGraph resolution layerPublic registers, public datasets, source crawling and deterministic entity resolutionDaily to weekly by sourceMixed public-source licences. Check source record before reuse.
  • +Entity resolution is probabilistic when no ABN or source identifier is available.
  • +Public-record individual names appear only where a source dataset already publishes them.
Relationships
https://www.civicgraph.au/giving/sources
Source agencies and CivicGraph resolution layerCross-source joins, ABN matching and public-source graph constructionDaily to weekly by sourceMixed public-source licences. Check source record before reuse.
  • +Edges inherit the quality of their source dataset and matching method.
  • +Absence of an edge does not prove absence of a relationship.
Foundations
https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/charities
ACNC, foundation publishers and CivicGraph profiling layerPublic register import plus public website/profile enrichmentWeekly crawl, manual correction queueMixed public-source licences. Check foundation source page before reuse.
  • +Giving values are annual estimates where a foundation does not publish a clean current figure.
  • +Foundation openness is a public-signal measure, not a judgement of private grantmaking quality.
Foundation Programs
https://www.civicgraph.au/foundations
Foundation publishers and CivicGraph extraction layerPublic website crawl and program extractionDaily to weekly during active crawl windowsPublisher website terms and CivicGraph compiled metadata.
  • +Open status can lag publisher changes.
  • +Program eligibility summaries are not a substitute for the publisher page.
Grants
https://www.civicgraph.au/grants
Grant publishers and CivicGraph extraction layerPublic source crawl, normalisation and deduplicationDaily to weekly by sourceMixed source licences. Check the source URL before reuse.
  • +Deadlines and eligibility can change after capture.
  • +Use publisher URLs as the decision record for applications.
Places
https://www.civicgraph.au/places
ABS-style reference sources, public funder datasets and CivicGraph aggregation layerPublic source aggregation by postcodeWeekly after graph refreshMixed public-source licences. Geographic references include public ABS-style reference data.
  • +Postcode is a coarse proxy for community and service geography.
  • +Funding totals depend on how well source records can be geocoded and linked.
Political Donations
https://www.aec.gov.au/parties_and_representatives/financial_disclosure/
Australian Electoral CommissionPublic disclosure import and normalisationAnnual disclosure cycle, refreshed after releasesAEC public disclosure data. Check AEC terms before reuse.
  • +Donation records reflect disclosure rules and thresholds for the period.
  • +Donor names are public-record names from AEC disclosures and are not enriched beyond the source record.
Contracts
https://www.tenders.gov.au/
Australian Government AusTenderPublic procurement data import and normalisationDaily to weeklyAusTender public data terms. Check source URL before reuse.
  • +Contract values can include amendments and may not equal cash paid in a single year.
  • +Supplier matching to charities or entities depends on ABN availability and source quality.
Social & Indigenous Enterprises
https://www.civicgraph.au/social-enterprises
Source registries, certifiers, state networks and CivicGraph federation layerPublic registry and directory federation, ABN matching and deduplicationSource-dependent, re-crawled during active windowsMixed registry and public-source licences. Some source registries restrict reuse of authored descriptions — check source_primary before republishing.
  • +Supply Nation and ORIC records are Indigenous businesses and corporations — not every record is a social enterprise in the certified sense. Read source_primary before classifying.
  • +Certification and membership marks belong to their issuing bodies. CivicGraph aggregates marks and does not verify enterprises itself.
  • +Records without an ABN cannot yet be joined to contract or grant evidence.
Data Catalog

  • +Snapshot counts can lag live table counts.
  • +Quality metrics are diagnostics and should be read with dataset caveats.
