Philanthropy Intelligence: Using AI/ML to Connect Research and Donors.
Description
This project focuses on using AI and machine learning to identify connections between Duke research and potential philanthropic supporters who share interests with the university’s academic strengths, programs, and initiatives. By analyzing data from sources like Scholars@Duke and exploring other repositories, the project aims to recommend connections based on shared interests between researchers and potential donors. A team of students will collaborate with Duke’s Office of Information Technology (OIT), Alumni Engagement and Development (AED), and other stakeholders to define and develop the project. The outcome will provide insights to support interest-based donor engagement, helping to enhance Duke’s fundraising efforts and strengthen its philanthropic network.
