Making An Impact (MAI) recently enhanced the online version of its Community Connections Resource Guide with the addition of GIS spatial software. “ With the help of this new software feature, online guide users can now pinpoint the location of one or more agencies in relation to other landmarks, and can further use that information to answer questions regarding resource scarcity, as well as potential community and organizational challenges or opportunities,” said MAI board chair, Victoria Kasdan. Making An Impact has more than 4000 printed resource guides in circulation. Users include most local health and human service nonprofits, law enforcement agencies, and faith-based institutions. Their comprehensive Community Connections Resource Guide, now available in print and online, lists over 250 agencies providing essential need services in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The MAI resource guide has quickly become one of the area's most trusted and widely used references for where to go to get help.
