Overview

Mission

Providing support to environmental, social service and public health clients with mapping and technology services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mapping Program: This program encompasses all of our activities and includes technology support for environmental, social service, public health and other public and nonprofit organizations and agencies. We supported over 200 individual projects. These projects included development and improvement of digital data, analysis of data, preparation of maps and reports, development of web-based applications, and advising on communication strategies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
