How We Use ArcMap Layers and Analytical Tools

Data Input - International Outreach of Prospective Partner Nonprofit Organizations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yIjLpyfYsvDJ_Q5z6FoaKOBGiJfdfhvJZ6WvckQQKAA/edit



Example:




Positive Earth Network is intended to operate as a 501-c3 nonprofit charity that will accept flat donations, donations in exchange for sustainably sourced brand merchandise, and donation subscriptions in exchange for exclusive educational content reporting on how our donations are being used to contribute to conservation, sustainable community development, public health, and public safety. Other than administration costs, a portion of donations will go towards grants awarded to groups on the network, while the rest will go towards a carefully selected list of nonprofit organizations we wish to partner with.

We believe nonprofits like these have incredible potential for helping others thrive and live in balance with nature.

We carefully selected our list of nonprofits based on the following criteria. They each have an international outreach. They each have proficient or advanced ratings by organizations that rate charities. They are each secular - we believe this reduces the risk to potentially marginalize or ostracize any demographic from who may otherwise wish to consider our organization as a way to contribute towards conservation, sustainable community development, public health, and public safety. We are also open to community feedback regarding the nonprofits we have selected as well as potentially considering other nonprofit organizations into our list.
