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.
As with any Google Map, all the "bubbles" will be clickable to show detailed information.
The WITNESS Video Hub map is a good example of other work we have done similar to this project:
Financial resources to make it happen.
Simply the Google Maps API and the NFG API.
