Project Description
Online crowdfunding platforms are popular sources for raising money for various causes. These causes can range from paying for sick animals' hospital bills to raising funds to cover a friends' college tuition. Often, online crowdfunding methods have come to represent the social and political climate, as those who are personally or tangentially affected by what they see in the news turn to crowdfunding as an opportunity to help others. With the recent crisis in Ukraine, many have looked to crowdfunding as a means of helping those across the world.
The objective of this project is to use web scraping techniques to retrieve data from projects related to Ukraine on crowdfunding websites. After doing so, the goal will be to determine through various methods what factors play a role in donations to the Ukraine crisis.
