Measure and optimize program impact

Nonprofit leaders and their donors, volunteers, and other stakeholders want to know if and where a nonprofit is making a positive impact. With GIS, nonprofits seamlessly integrate location data with business systems, programs, and activities, so they see what is happening where, measure the results of their activities, and identify where there are opportunities for improvement.

GIS supports measuring, optimizing, and demonstrating impact of nonprofit programs
