Dear Canada, does a more up-to-date source exist for charities / non-profits?
The most recent I found was 2016: open.canada.ca/data/en/datas…
#Canada #NonProfits #OpenData #Charities #GovernmentOfCanada #OpenGovernment
More categories to filter (for same set of countries):
I grouped a bunch of categories inside 'community', since countries use quite a wide and different set.
For charity in screenshot, they do use dogs for education🐶🧒📖
".. recruited, accredited, trained and placed over 120 new volunteer dog teams during 2017/18. We partnered with 80 new schools. We are now helping over 2000 young children learn to read every week across Australia.
Search result:
charitius.org/?search=dogs&c…

Added tests and fixed some bugs. Was also able to sneak in a 🐱
` for cat in animal_category_list:
if cat in purr:
animal = 1 # Meow!`

Search result now shows 100 results per page and pagination.
Highlight every 10th result so you don't get lost.
The #ElasticSearchDSL python library made it quite simple to add pagination. elasticsearch-dsl.readthedoc…
I'd like to add AJAX calls, for more smooth experience without page refresh. But I also don't want to break it for those who disable javascript, and want to keep the search parameters in URL.
All doable, but more work then has priority. So for now I'll first add pagination.
You can search now at charitius.org
🌍💙🧐
Goal is to create a global charity search engine.
Love to get feedback on what would make it great for you!

The #Charitius name is Charity & Julius (I'm @julius) merged.
Not that I'm so important, but it's hard to come up with a good name 🤔 that is:
- Short
- Available domain name
- Easy to remember
- Has a charity/non-profit relation
👨💻 The code of the search engine and the scripts taking the #opendata public source files and prepares them for search is over here:

Have it working. Smaller files to download (gzipped), better caching and probably more benefits. The site is super simple, but fun to see how much quicker I can get it, I'm thinking about:
- Logo in .svg
- Remove bootstrap styling
- Search via ajax calls (no page reload)
