At the Center for Geospatial Solutions (CGS), we partner with mission-driven organizations to build the data and technology infrastructure necessary for more informed and faster decision-making. We do more than deliver tools. We collaborate to create lasting solutions that reflect the complexity of today’s challenges.

Our work focuses on areas where interdisciplinary expertise and spatial data and systems design are essential to impact:

  • Ecosystem conservation and restoration
  • Water quality and scarcity
  • Affordable housing and equitable land use
  • Climate adaptation and sustainable development

We serve nonprofits, foundations, governments, coalitions, and businesses through fee-for-service contracts, cooperative agreements, and grant-supported partnerships. With every engagement, our goal is the same: to help clients use geospatial intelligence to drive better outcomes for people and the planet.

Core Expertise

Many mission-driven organizations still lack access to the modern data infrastructure and tools they need. CGS helps fill that gap by delivering practical, scalable solutions across three key areas:

Data Modernization

We help partners upgrade and connect fragmented systems, developing scalable, interoperable data infrastructure that supports long-term use and collaboration.

Data Fusion

We integrate diverse datasets, like parcel ownership, demographics, infrastructure, and environmental indicators, to create a clearer, more complete picture of complex issues.

Data Visualization

We build intuitive tools including dashboards, maps, and planning interfaces that turn data into actionable insights for decision-makers and communities alike.
