Mapping altruism

作者:

Highlights:

• A topic model has been created using the text of 4 million webpages from the domains of 125,000 non-profit organizations in the United States.

• Of the 1000 original topics, 357 were clearly associated with altruistic or charitable missions and causes.

• Maps of these 357 topics were created using standard science mapping techniques.

• The final map shows seven major groupings of topics which have been labeled as Culture, Sports, Education, Religion, Community, Civics and Care.

• This map can be used as a template upon which information and metrics related to non-profit organizations (such as revenues) can be overlaid.
