- this was created initially when I was trying to find a way to donate money, however, upon trying to identify to whom I'd donate, I realized how hard it is to find an institution if you don't know it beforehand
- This web application then tries to help with this "gap", to when one needs help to find a charity institution to donate to
- This API collects data manually for charity institutions that look 100% serious/committed to its cause and makes it easily available to everyone
- Provides location (city) and causes filters to help one choose
- Provides several details regarding the institutions as description, website (when available), logo, location and several others
- All the institutions listed have clear and easy details on how to donate, normally the donation page of the institution and/or full details to transfer money
