Our public impact map, updated weekly
A public impact map with fresh numbers every week.
What it does
Every week: each programme site with the people living within 1 km, drawn on the public impact map and sent to your website’s content system so supporters see the latest numbers.
In one sentence: Sundays at 08:00, take your table, count who lives around, then show them on a map, email the list to you and send a request in HTTP.
Why it is useful
Supporters trust what they can see. A map with the latest reach numbers on your website shows the work is real.
Who it is for
Non-profits, charities & humanitarian. NGOs, charities, aid agencies and community groups who need to reach people in need, find partners and report their impact. Every use case for non-profits & humanitarian
Best use cases
- A charity website
- A foundation’s annual report

The time it saves
Sundays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
