This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

Knight Foundation | 350,000.00 | 2 | -- | Technology | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/6245 | -- | Grant period: 01/14/2014 - 08/13/2015; part of the challenge: Knight News Challenge; goal: To scale Crisis Text Line, a service providing crisis counseling to teens via SMS, by launching nationwide and aggregating anonymized data to increase understanding of teen crisis across the country. Now in beta, Crisis Text Line provides youth with free counseling via text message, and so far has helped teens in crisis with more than 10,000 text conversations. Created by one of the largest organizations for teens and social change in the country, DoSomething.org, Crisis Text Line provides intervention and referral services from live, trained counselors, reaching teens through their preferred means of communication: SMS. With challenge funding, Crisis Text Line will both launch the service nationally and create what they expect will be one of the largest database on teens in crisis in the country. The anonymously aggregated data could be used to inform academic research, test new approaches and measure the effectiveness of mental health interventions. |
