Esri is not a traditional fundraising platform, in fact it was founded as Environmental Systems Research Institute in 1969 as a land-use consulting firm. From there the firm grew to become an international supplier of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, and Geodatabase management applications.

Esri offers qualified nonprofits that focus on humanitarian, conservation, and community services a way to use Esri’s ArcGIS technology to further their mission.

A nonprofit can use the Esri system to create maps that show exactly where you’re making a difference. You can use Esri to combine narrative text, images, and multimedia content. You will be able to reach new donors.     With the Ersi platform you can share data, analysis, and projects. You can use  maps and geo targeting to devote resources to the places where they can do the most good.
According to Esri, they will donate the same technology that is used in more than 350,000 organizations worldwide to qualified nonprofits, but please note that while the software is free, Esri does charge a minimal annual administrative fee.
