Why Mapping?

No matter what you or your organization does or where you work, you likely have data - perhaps stored in a database or maybe just on paper - that has vital information about where things are located. For example, you might have some data about where your offices are, the location and demographic makeup of the people you serve, and the services (grocery stores, housing, transportation, government offices, etc.) they need to access.

How do you know where in your community your resources are going?

How do you know what populations you serve and where?

How do you help your clients find the closest services they need and the transportation to get them there?

Finally, how can you visually showcase the impact your organization has on the community to potential donors and to the public?

With NiJeL's high performance mapping services, you can visualize your data like never before, answer fundamental questions, and make better decisions.

NiJeL's mapping services can help you:

Understand community problems. Communities all have various problems like crime, poverty, and natural or man-made hazards like flooding, earthquakes, and fire. Knowing where problems are the most prevalent and visually connecting them to other data layers can shed light on what's causing the problem and what might be done to solve it.

Document results and impacts. Do you have a visual representation of how vital your programs and services are? Are you able to show your program's results in a simple, understandable way? Nonprofit board members, donors, and regular people are clamoring for a powerful, easy-to-understand visual of who you serve and the impacts your programs are having. NiJeL's maps can do just that and more.

Better target your resources. Mapping can help you make an informed decision about where to locate a new facility, understand which neighborhoods need more attention, and improve resource efficiency and effectiveness by setting data-driven priorities.

Advocate for your cause. High performance mapping can give decisionmakers and the public a powerful visual representation of the scale and scope of the problem you are working to solve. Often times a visualization of a problem like a map can speak volumes and win over important allies in government, business, and the public.

Fundraise. Mapping can help document the extent of a problem and your organization's impact on that problem, but it also allows potential donors - both large and small - to quickly understand your issue in new and compelling ways. NiJeL's maps can help you stand out in a crowded and competitive fundraising environment.
