GCS empowers nonprofits by leveraging ArcGIS technologies to address diverse challenges. From understanding community needs to enhancing communication and collaboration, ArcGIS provides invaluable tools specifically designed for the unique requirements of nonprofit organizations.
Understanding Communities
ArcGIS allows nonprofits to gain valuable insights into their communities through comprehensive analysis of demographics and lifestyles. By identifying areas with the greatest need for services and goods, organizations can allocate resources more effectively and tailor their initiatives to address community demands.
Improving Program Performance
With ArcGIS, nonprofits can accurately measure program performance and identify emerging needs through data-driven analysis. This capability enables organizations to adapt and refine their strategies, maximizing their impact and proactively responding to changing circumstances.

Montana Nonprofit Five Valleys Land Trust Fosters Equitable Access and Population Initiatives
The Five Valleys Land Trust (FVLT), founded in the 1970s, focuses on protecting open lands and natural resources in western Montana. Collaborating with GCS, FVLT utilizes ArcGIS Online for geospatial analysis to enhance access to conservation areas. Their mission ensures equitable outdoor space access for future generations while respecting Indigenous land stewardship.
Web-Based Mapping App for Indigenous Conservation
Indigenous Vision (IV) partnered with GCS to develop a web-based mapping application showcasing cultural conservation areas near Chief Mountain. This project integrates geospatial data and custom cartographic displays for stakeholders. IV, a nonprofit founded in 2015, aims to empower Indigenous communities through education and cultural preservation across North America.
Dredge Mining and Its Impact on Clearwater River Habitat
Dredge mining significantly threatens ecosystems, as illustrated by a federal court ruling that a miner polluted the South Fork of the Clearwater River without a Clean Water Act permit. Friends of the Clearwater (FOC), established in 1987, advocates for habitat preservation and biodiversity protection through monitoring, outreach, and legal action.
Monitoring River Health in the Upper Clark Fork Basin
The Clark Fork Coalition (CFC) and Watershed Restoration Coalition (WRC) partnered with GCS to create a geodatabase for monitoring the Upper Clark Fork Basin’s health. This project collects data for conservation efforts like flow restoration and fish passage improvements, while utilizing ArcGIS Enterprise for efficient data management and community engagement in protecting river ecosystems.
Adventure Cycling Association: Transforming Bicycle Travel Maps with GIS Technology
The Adventure Cycling Association partnered with GCS to upgrade their route maps into GIS format, creating high-quality, print-ready graphics. The project involved converting 19 routes through a three-stage process, ensuring the maps are prepared for production. Founded in 1973, ACA promotes bicycle exploration and advocates for cycling-friendly communities.
International Society for Conservation GIS: GCS’s Role in ArcGIS Explorer Implementation
GeoWiki, developed by GCS in collaboration with Esri, is a platform created for the conservation community to publish and discover GIS datasets. With features like integration with Esri basemaps and 3D visualization, it enhances data sharing and visualization. Launched at an SCGIS conference, it plays a vital role in global conservation efforts.
Explore the Biogeography of the Lewis and Clark Trail
GCS developed a custom geospatial application for the Missouri Botanical Garden designed for K-12 education. This platform allows users to explore the Lewis and Clark Trail’s biogeography through interactive maps and rich content. It enhances ecological literacy by integrating advanced technologies and reputable sources, promoting environmental awareness and conservation.
Enhancing LandFire Assessments with Mobile GIS Solutions
GCS partnered with ESRI and Trimble to create a mobile GIS-GPS solution for the Student’s Conservation Association LandFire Field Assessment Program. By leveraging advanced technology, they organized field data around a geospatial database to enhance data collection, analysis, and retrieval, aiding conservation efforts against wildfires.
