Nonprofit Data Analytics | Understand Your Community Using a Geographic Lens

Apply a geographic lens to nonprofit data analysis

Passionate agents of change are quick to support your nonprofit organization’s mission. To identify and connect with others, use spatial data to gain a deeper understanding of the community and reach new supporters. Engage with communities by using dynamic maps that show needs and progress through compelling location-based data analytics. Use GIS to discover and leverage authoritative data, collect and analyze data, and support your program strategy.

Use data and maps to drive advocacy

Data-rich maps help policymakers, decision-makers, and other stakeholders understand complex information that often gets lost in lengthy annual reports. ArcGIS serves as an analytics tool for big datasets, showing stakeholders what needs to be done where so they can make informed decisions and take necessary actions.

Explore your community with maps and data

Understand a community’s lifestyles and demographics with ready-to-use content that can validate your program strategy. Location technology helps leaders gain insight on where goods or services are needed most, identify untapped resources, and prepare for the future. GIS shows a baseline of a community as it is today and provides predictive analytics about its future.

Determine effectiveness and next steps

Measure ongoing program performance to ensure that current community needs are met equitably. Proactively identify emerging needs with spatial analysis of community conditions. Inform decision-makers, donors, and volunteers about the positive impacts of programs with maps and location-based dashboards.
