The CIM initiative is built on the public good foundation that CARES and RUPRI have developed over the past 15 years. At its core, CIM makes public data publically accessible in a meaningful context for decision support.

In order to sustain this public good system we continue to seek foundation, public and non-profit sector support to raise the tide of accessibility to all communities. Informed community decision making is realized through the efforts of CIM Partner Organizations to go beyond the data and tell better stories with CIM’s unique tools and facilitation support.
