CCRx is a non-profit organization that enables the redistribution of surplus materials to teachers, artists, and other civic groups. By creatively reusing supplies, CCRx promotes environmental sustainability and affordable access to equipment in Chicago. TechTeam will help them with that goal by completing a data analysis and visualization project to further their understanding of their reach and impact. CCRx has been collecting data from several sources about their volunteers, donors, and customers.

TechTeam will then create visualizations that clearly display these statistics in an understandable manner – both for internal use by CCRx to understand their impact and for potential external use to attract donors and volunteers.
