NBA 6215: DonorsChoose Funding Analysis

DonorsChoose is an innovative platform. that connects donors with teachers from across the United States to fund school projects. These projects range from simple supplies for a science experiment to funds for field trips, providing resources that schools otherwise might not afford. In this project, you will analyze data from the DonorsChoose platform. to identify patterns in funding, project success, and factors that influence donor contributions .

The objectives of this project are to:

1.      Analyze historical DonorsChoose data to identify patterns and trends in project funding and

determine factors that influence the success rate of projects, such as location, poverty level, type of project, and teacher characteristics .

2.      Find a business use case where the insights gained through your analysis can help improve the DonorsChoose system, making it more effective in matching donors with projects that need funding.

Methodology:

You will begin your analysis by exploring four key tables within the DonorsChoose dataset to identify potential factors that may influence project funding success and donor engagement levels. Utilize exploratory data analysis techniques to uncover patterns and trends in the data, applying the methods we discussed during the lectures .

Based on your findings, you are tasked with developing actionable business recommendations that could significantly enhance the effectiveness of the DonorsChoose platform. Below are a few example questions to guide your inquiry. These are not exhaustive; you are encouraged to explore additional dimensions and aspects revealed by the data or that spark your interest:

.       Tailored Donor Campaigns: How can analysis of historical donation patterns and donor

demographics inform. the design of targeted campaigns that resonate with potential donors based on their previous behaviors and preferences?

.       Improving Project-Donor Matchmaking: Considering the types of projects that historically receive the most support—focusing on factors like resource type, poverty level, and location — how can the platform. more effectively match these projects with potential donors who have shown interest in similar categories in the past?

.       Increasing Visibility for High-Need Projects: What are the defining characteristics of projects that struggle to meet their funding goals? How can this information guide the creation of targeted awareness campaigns or the strategic featuring of these projects on the platform. to enhance donor attention and support?

These questions are intended as examples to ignite your analytical thinking and creativity. You are encouraged to pursue additional patterns, trends, or questions that arise from your analysis of the data .

You are allowed to work in a team of up to 4 students, though working in teams is not required. All team members must contribute proportionally to the project (as required by the Johnson Honor Code) .

Abstract/Proposal Submission (due on Monday, April 21 at 11:59 pm)

Please submit a short (approximately 250 words) abstract describing the business application you plan to study in the project.

Final Report Submission (due on Saturday, May 11 at 11:59 pm)

Part 1: Please submit through Canvas a written report including a brief summary of your analysis, business use case application, results, and visualizations . The main part of the report is expected to be a succinct 3-page description of your work and findings. You can include additional analysis in an appendix .

Part 2: Please submit through Canvas Jupyter Notebook files you worked on for the project. Your code should be well-documented.

Grading

Your project will be graded on the organization and content of your final report and the correctness of your Python codes .

Below Expectations

(B- grade or lower)

(B or B+ grade)

Exceeds Expectations

(A- or higher)
