NewImpact: Streamlining Access to Data for Tri-Sector Innovation

Project tags:

data science & visualization

NewImpact is a non-profit that provides resources for tri-sector innovation. Given the amount of organizations in existence it can be difficult for innovators to know where to start looking for information fitting their needs. To address this, we partnered with our sponsor to improve and redesign a wiki tool that serves as a free online directory of datasets, organizations and resources. Our platform allows users to search and filter for relevant information, explore geo-mapped resources, and export and share their findings. We hope this tool will provide opportunities for people to explore and solve real world problems!
