Welcome to the wiki! This wiki offers an in-depth view of Hack4Impact’s initiatives this semester in partnership with GlobalGiving. This page will work as an index, linking off to subpages describing each individual approach to the problem. Check out the sidebar for quick-links to the pages offered on this wiki.
With many potential contacts to make, GlobalGiving needs to be able to make an informed choice when contacting nonprofits to bring into their network. GlobalGiving’s network consists of many organizations based in the US along with some nonprofits in other countries. However, the process of finding and applying to GlobalGiving remains significantly easier within the United States. In certain countries, factors including lack of internet connectivity and lack of access to documents required by GlobalGiving’s vetting process has led to slower onboarding and discovery. As a result, GlobalGiving aims to use data science techniques to preemptively find and reach out to nonprofits around the world in an attempt to streamline the process of acquiring and benefitting more nonprofits outside of the country.
In late 2018, Hack4Impact provided a solution for GlobalGiving which obtained basic information about many new organizations which are not yet a part of GlobalGiving’s network. Now, GlobalGiving aims to fill out these records with more detailed information about the work they do and for whom in order to further streamline the process of benefitting these organizations. Whereas last semester’s problem was more about discovering the breadth of organizations around the world, this semester is about depth.
