The folks at “MapTogether.org” have created a 46-page PDF on the “Illustrated Guide to Nonprofit GIS and Online Mapping”.  Contained inside is:

  • a brief introduction to mapping and GIS (geographic information systems) technology and concepts
  • examples of successful nonprofit projects using GIS and/or mapping technologies
  • helpful strategies for planning your own mapping/GIS project
  • a review of public data sources with freely available data
  • a brief review of free and low-cost tools for nonprofit mapping and GIS projects

A great review for anyone interested in the GIS space.  The best part:  Released under a Creative Commons 3.0 NC/BY/ND license.

Read it via Google Reader, or hit their site to download it.

Update 7/8/2010 – Seems the PDF is no longer online.  Thanks to EverNote, I have a copy here for you to check out.
