My Favorite Submissions
I read over all the proposals and picked the ones I liked best. The criteria I used were pretty simple: I looked for projects that had a clearly defined mission, were global in scope, and looked like they might actually work as planned. I stayed away from proposals that wanted to “enable” other non profits because I find most of them to be ineffective. Here is the list in alphabetical order:
A Light on Money and Politics: MAPLight.org
Voting Summary (Elevator Pitch):
MAPLight.org illuminates the connection between money and politics. We connect campaign contributions and votes for U.S. Congress, providing groundbreaking transparency so that bloggers, journalists, and citizens can hold legislators accountable.
Technology Vision:
Our site is built on the Drupal open-source content management system, with extensive custom coding. However, the programming to scrape state websites (mentioned in Needs section above) does not have to use Drupal.
