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.

| 67,000.00 | 4 | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/7784 | -- | Grant period: 11/05/2016 - 12/01/2018; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To examine how music can be a catalyst for social change with a large-scale group exhibition called “Sonic Rebellion: Music as Resistance,” which looks at the connections between Detroit’s music and visual arts scenes and its political history. | |
| 120,000.00 | 1 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5981 | -- | Grant period: 09/07/2013 - 09/07/2016; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To give teens a stake in the arts by creating a teen council at MOCAD that will produce programs, events and materials for their peers and adults MOCAD has a particular point of view on education: Kids have great ideas and aren’t ever taken seriously enough, and adults need more chances to goof around. The MOCAD Teen Council develops both ideas. This program brings together teens with contemporary artists and designers, providing opportunities to work collaboratively, discuss art critically, think creatively, make art and produce programs inspired by this exchange. Consisting of students from across Metro Detroit, the council will produce programs, events and museum-focused materials throughout the school year for teens and adults. The program also will include leadership, self-advocacy, public speaking and art and design training to create a core of junior docents for MOCAD, making the museum a safe and creative second home for teens. |
