We are mashing up IRS data on 1.4m charities, user reviews and ratings, wiki pages for each charity, and more. In addition, we are joining this data to merchant-funded rebate malls to generate donations through shopping, auction services and more.

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

HealthyCity.org currently offers users access to over 120 demographic and community characteric variables, from 9 different data sources. Our data and sources are described in detail at: http://www.healthycity.org/c/help/sc/indicator. For the proposed national service, some of the California-specific data sources may not be available nationally (such as data from the California Health Interview Survey or from the WIC program), but their functions may be replaced by other data sets. There are a number of health and economic data that state and federal offices use that are only available at the county level (so they cannot be displayed on our current site); offering a national view will make comparisons and disparities between counties and states accessible to users. Users will be able to:- Upload their own data sets- Overlay data points on top of demographic and other data- Map and analyze data within a radius around an address, or within a ZIP code, city, legislative districts or other jurisdictions- View core demographic and other data for the selected geography in tables and charts- View assets, such as schools, parks, fire and police stations, on an interactive map, with types of service (identified by icons)- Identify information about assets or service providers by scrolling over their icons- Cut and analyze data by over 60 demographic, health and other indicators

Our goal is to create new, actionable knowledge illustrated by our map that can then be used both by homeless individuals, to find available resources, homeless advocates, to maximize the utilization of resources, and policy makers to better understand and address the complex issue of ending a social injustice.The completed map and its related data will be hosted on our website and submitted to local government officials and homeless-support organizations. Similar in design to Portland’s existing “crime” map this resource will be used, rather than to enforce fear and injustice, but to alter fundamental assumptions of the issues at stake – creating, for the first time, a visual representation of the correlation between the spaces used in daily activities and resources. Hopefully this can strengthen the use of resources available to Portland’s homeless population by creating or strengthening resources in spaces that are already occupied by the population in need.

Alchemlist will merge information provided by thousands of non-profits with proven geolocation and mapping technology. Non-profits will provide the information on who they are, what their purpose is, who they serve, and (most importantly) what they need. Visitors to Alchemlist will provide information on what they have and where they are located.Users can search for specific items/categories of items they have to donate and find a nearby non-profit that needs them.Users can search for non-profits in their geographic area and see what items they currently needUsers will be able to see a map of non-profitsIn the future they will also be able to search for non-profits by category (Youth, etc) A Facebook application is also being developed that will allow people to see a map of non-profits near them. Non-profits with Urgent Needs are indicated with a different symbol. Leveraging Facebook's social networking capabilities with Alchemlist's non-profit wishlist compilation, people will be able to immediately communicate with each other and work together to help those in need In the next phase, users will be able to participate in a scavenger hunts feature where they can join teams and gather items for non-profits. Individuals and teams will be able to set goals, score points, and compete.

Together, we have created a preliminary version of Habitatmap.org that is up and running on the web. Currently we are working to significantly extend the sites capabilities to include the following four tools: 1) Community Mapping: Points of interest on this map will be plotted by Habitatmap participants. All entries are open for edits and additions by other participants.2) Community Forums: This is where participants come to share information or hash out their differences3) Air Pollution Tracker: Individuals will go about their daily routines outfitted with portable air monitoring and GPS devices. Their route will be mapped with the accompanying air quality information and compared with EPA data. 4) Household Utilities Tracker: By punching in their zip code and selecting from a few drop-down menus, participants will find out where their natural gas, electricity, and water come from and where their sewage and trash wind up.This suite of online tools have been designed to achieve two goals: 1) to represent the frequently nebulous connections between pollution and human health by tracking toxic substances as they are released, move through the environment, embed themselves in the human body, and manifest themselves as disease days, months, or years later 2) to establish a platform for participants to share local neighborhood information, debate community issues, arrange meet-ups, and organize politically.

Project blog--comments enabled.Project photos.A fundraising challenge: we are asking schools, churches, families, etc. to try and raise $2,500 in support of the project to be listed on the project website and subsequent printings of the documentary as major contributors.

TechMission Online integrates thousands of faith-based social service organizations into our open source system which is a mashup using Drupal, Moodle, CiviCRM, Google Maps, Amazon, Flickr and YouTube. It includes: •A directory of over 2,000 faith-based social service organizations mashed with Google maps to show where these services are offered. Goal: 10,000+ organizations in 5 years. •A directory of 2,600+ volunteer opportunities in FBOs which will soon be a mashup with Google maps to show their locations through www.ChristianVolunteering.org (Christian brand) and www.iVolunteering.org (secular brand). Goal: 25,000 opportunities in 5 years. •A Web 2.0 portal for the faith-based social services sector through www.UrbanMinistry.org (Christian brand) and www.UrbanResource.net (secular brand). The site Wiki contains 5,600+ free creative commons licensed workshops, podcasts (iTunes), videos (YouTube), documents, books (Amazon), Stock Photos (Flickr) and curriculum materials (goal: 25,000 items in 5 years). We have partnered with the top faith-based social service conferences to provide an archive of audio, video and materials of 15+ years of workshops on nonprofit training. • www.CityVision.edu is our accredited online college integrated with the above services that provides courses in nonprofit management targeting the faith-based social services sector. Course materials are provided for free online under a creative commons license.

The mashup under development a Think New Orleans will provide a citizen driven tool for the notification of demolitions. Not only that, it will provide an interactive map of the recovery. Permit overlay – Citizens will be able to view the pace of construction and the nature of construction with an overlay of city building permits. The permit information exists as a set of EditGrid spreadsheets, geocoded using Google Geocoder. It is updated automatically, every day with the latest permits, extracted from the city website. This is data that is ripe for the mashing.City demolition overlay – We wrestle with the city to get an accurate list of the houses they intend to demolish. When we do, we will add that information as an overlay to the mashup.Permit and demolition notification – Neighborhood groups are the driving force of New Orleans’ recovery. We want to provide them with a notification tool, that will allow them to get daily updates on who’s rebuilding, who’s coming back. Incentive Eligable Inventory – As further tax incentives for restoration become available, the map will outline the historic districts and map the eligible housing inventory. The marker’s balloon will include the purchase price + estimated renovation – tax incentives = total cost to own, with links to financing at local banking partners. This will trun the mashup into an antidote to demolition.
