Look into importing Siegel Family Endowment grants into DLW

http://www.siegelendowment.org/ lists grantees but it seems messy. There is also api.siegelendowment.org but not really sure what that is.

If you expect doing this would take more than a day, check with me before proceeding.

The only grantees I see on the site are:

• Featured Grantees (lengthy description, grantee location, grantee website):
  • Data and Society
  • Center on Rural Innovation
  • Peer 2 Peer University
• Selected Grantees (short description, grantee website):
  • New York Hall of Science
  • MIT Press
  • Library For All
  • Wikimedia Foundation
  • Harvard Graduate School of Education
  • Mozilla Science Lab
  • Cooper Hewitt
  • Cornell Tech
  • Citizen Schools
• Additional Grantees (no description, grantee website):
  • Carnegie Hall
  • Coalition for Queens
  • Jobs for the Future
  • Junior Achievement New York
  • Khan Academy
  • MIT Learning Initiative
  • NYC FIRST
  • National Academy Foundation
  • New Profit
  • New Visions for Public Schools
  • New York Public Library
  • Real World Scholars
  • Scratch Foundation
  • Stanford PACS
  • Station1
  • Summit Learning
  • Sunset Spark

When I click on the grantee names, I am taken to the grantee website. I don't see amounts listed anywhere.

https://api.siegelendowment.org/ looks like a WordPress blog, so I don't think it has grants data.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be much on the website. If you just want the grantee names and description (when available -- see above for which ones have a description), that should be a pretty quick manual entry job.

We'll close this issue for now, then!
