Details

We are an early-stage startup focused on building technology for non-profit organizations (NPOs). As part of our offering, we are building a database of NPO information from various sources. These sources will include pulling information directly from the websites of the non-profit organizations.

As part of this project, we would like to prototype and test approaches for pulling data from a list of 150 websites. The following data should be collected from each website and saved in CSV format:

  • Name
  • Primary Location
  • Leadership Team / Board Information
  • Contact Email
  • Contact Telephone Number
  • Social Media Links (Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
  • Mission
  • Financials

The student(s) will define the actual fields needed for this data and run a process to pull data from the provided list of URLs. Completion of this project should include

  • Written overview of the process used that includes the tools considered, tools selected, any feedback on the how these tools worked, and lessons learned from the project.
  • Detailed instructions for configuring the tools used. Infinite Giving will need the ability to re-run the process.
  • CSV file for the 150 websites

Non-profit, philanthropic & civil society

We are a team of dedicated & passionate individuals, drawn together as innovators, to “Be the Change in the World”! We will empower & invite global citizens to unite as one, in driving positive impact in their communities around the world via our nonprofit organization. We will transform the global philanthropic sector with our positively disruptive platform that encourages cooperation, innovation & participation by those nonprofits we serve. Change Unlimited is about sharing a global platform providing Positive Impact in the world.. Imagine if every FB, IG, YouTube or Apple music user subscribed at only .50 cents/week - just the change from tipping a barista for your coffee, half of an Apple iTunes song, 50% the cost of a pack of gum, that would be $1.2 Billion dollars per week to support causes all over the world in affecting positive change. That’s $64 Billion, more than the largest private Foundation has in total assets, providing positive impact for the world each year.
