Design Objective

Design and develop an innovative method of visualizing a large data set of information about nonprofits, to allow easy sorting and comprehension for potential donors and researchers.

Design Solution

CharityVis, an interactive, multifaceted visualization of the charity landscape. CharityVis allows users to see an over-all view of charities across a variety of categories, while also providing a means to focus on specific charities of interest.

Result

A more interesting, intuitive way to search through a large dataset rather than scrolling through long lists (currently the only other way of viewing this informaion)
