Impact

Open Spatial Lab helps organization to increase their impact through policy outcomes, community empowerment and engagement, and data insights.

Free and open sources from OSL are purpose built to enable organizations to analyze and visualize geospatial data, understand, and identify patterns in their communities. Better data understanding and practice can help advance advocacy and policy goals for change at the local, state, and national scales.
