Information for Nonprofits

Nonprofit GIS Community: The NGC is an informal group of nonprofit GIS users in New Jersey. We meet to promote communication and mutual assistance among the group's members, and we also maintain an e-mail listserve called NGCList. If you're with a nonprofit in NJ and you have an interest in GIS, you are welcome to join us!

Software: For many years, ESRI has generously donated copies of ArcView software to nonprofits in New Jersey through a program that is administered by the state Office of GIS. That program has recently been restructured and is being coordinated by Doug Schleifer (formerly of Upper Raritan Watershed Association and a co-founder of the GIS Center). For more information about the program, please visit the NJGIN portal.

2002 NJ Orthophotos: A consortium of state and federal agencies contracted to have a complete set of orthorectified aerial photos made for New Jersey in 2002. The NJGIN web site has more information about how you can download individual tiles from that set or order DVDs from the U.S. Geological Survey. As a service to the nonprofit community, we are also distributing copies of the DVDs at a reduced cost. (The images themselves are in the public domain.) Contact us for more information.
