Map your impact
show why your work matters

Nonprofits deserve data tools that are as strong as their mission. We help teams make smarter decisions, tell powerful data-centered stories, and attract new funding. 

Every social issue is spatial. When you can see it, you can measure it and act on it.

We are bringing free healthcare to Brooklynites who need it most.

Read to Grow
 

Suzannah Holsenbeck

Executive Director

Our work with North Arrow has elevated Read to Grow’s work internally and externally. Our data dashboard is a resource that few other nonprofits in the early childhood space have currently and the maps have led to RTG being invited into conversations with state agencies and legislators in ways RTG had not been involved with previously.

Partnership With Children
 

Wesner Pierre
CEO

We used North Arrow’s services for our annual appeal. They did it super fast. And since then I have used it in every pitch or lobbying meeting. And I’m telling you, it’s been a game changer for how we tell our story. I had lunch with a funder and showed them the map on my phone and they were blown away and wanted to give us more money. In the nonprofit space, we don’t typically use complex data visualization to show need and impact other than reporting on percentages. This story map tells it all in such a compelling way.

Tyler McCormick

Programs Director

Working with the North Arrow team was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Charles and Olivia were true partners throughout, always highly communicative, responsive, and deeply considerate of our team’s time and capacity. The final product not only helps communicate our story externally, but also serves as a strategic tool to inform internal planning and decision-making.
