Network for Good & Google Maps Donation Mashup

The Idea:

What will change in the world because this Project happens?

This is a simple mashup using Network for Good’s donation API, with a particular focus on enhancing the donor experience with a virtualization of recent donations.

The NFG API mashed-up with a Google map would show all donations made to specific causes (by location) for a given time period over a US or World map.

This could be used on the homepage of Network for Good - to inspire others based on the action currently taking place.

What information will people interact with to make this change?

As with any Google Map, all the "bubbles" will be clickable to show detailed information.

What else have you done in this Cause Area?

The WITNESS Video Hub map is a good example of other work we have done similar to this project:
