Mapping for Impact: The Power of Foursquare for Nonprofits

As technology emerges at the forefront for driving positive change, organizations like TechSoup and Public Good App House are becoming catalysts for social impact. These platforms connect technology companies with nonprofits, providing innovative solutions to address pressing societal challenges.

Foursquare has enthusiastically joined this movement, recognizing the power of our location technology platform to make a difference and committing to using technology for positive change.

As part of this partnership, Nick Rabinowitz, Foursquare Senior Staff Software Engineer, joined a panel discussion with fellow GIS industry leaders on the power of mapping to make a difference in the nonprofit sector. The panelists explored mapping applications for nonprofits to visualize impact, optimize resources, and make data-driven decisions. Whether they’re looking to better understand their local communities, allocate resources more efficiently, or measure their impact, tools like Foursquare Studio provide a significant benefit for organizations committed to creating.
