Hi Mustafa, Thanks for your comment and your perspective. From working with 40,000 nonprofits around the world we get to see the amazing work that gets done in local communities across the planet. The people working in nonprofits are passionate professionals and part of their mission is sharing the impact of their work, sharing information with their beneficiaries etc. The Local Impact Map isn't just about publicity or storytelling, we have some interesting work underway with nonprofits using the Map to better serve the communities they are helping. We'll be sharing some of those stories in the near future. The Local Impact Map will be a useful tool that helps many nonprofits tell their story - something that we constantly here is a challenge particularly with limited time and resources. So I wouldn't necessarily agree with you. Thanks for your comment.

People who really care will continue doing good work even without any such tool whereas those seeking publicity/PR in the name of CSR will use it the most I believe. There must be millions of non-profit oganisations in the world floated just to take CSR money from corporates and share it back with them. Any tool to track them?
