Nonprofit and non-governmental agencies around the world apply a geographic approach to help achieve their missions. They use location intelligence and GIS to bring a unique perspective to their work, to better communicate their cause, understand their community, and measure the effectiveness of what they do. GIS helps nonprofit organizations extend services, attract volunteers, expand their donor network, and shape public policies.

In Mapping Your Mission: GIS for Nonprofits, readers will learn how nonprofits advance their mission through engaging storytelling tools, data visualization, and spatial analysis of demographic, behavioral, economic, and environmental data to rally passionate change makers within their organization, in communities, and in government.
