SplashPadHub launches institutional partnership program

Partner organizations gain a structured channel for submitting bulk corrections, requesting custom data extracts, embedding directory components on their own properties, and co-publishing research, all under the same CC BY 4.0 license that governs the underlying dataset. SplashPadHub commits in writing to publishing partner-submitted data with the same verification standard applied to all listings, with conflicts resolved in favor of the most authoritative primary source rather than the most institutionally connected partner.

The editorial firewall is a deliberate response to the trust-erosion patterns that have hollowed out adjacent civic-information categories, including paid-placement-driven local-business directories, sponsored health rankings, and pay-to-rank parks lists. SplashPadHub does not accept manufacturer money, paid placement, parks-department sponsorships, or revenue-share arrangements that depend on directory outcomes.

"Partnerships should make the directory more accurate, not more compromised," the editorial team said. "The firewall is the product, not a constraint on the product."

Parks departments, accessibility advocates, civic-tech teams, and academic researchers interested in formal partnership can email partnerships@splashpadhub.com or review the full program terms on the partners page.
