Charity Geospatial Accelerator Programme (CGAP)
About
The CGAP empowers charities with a hands-off approach to GIS implementation, offering an all-in-one program with reduced fees on non-profit licensing agreements and expert consultancy. From strategy development and volunteer recruitment to introductions and presentations, CGAP provides comprehensive support every step of the way.
Digitally Transform your Charity
Harnessing the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be transformative for charities, but the costs and complexities often pose significant barriers. Licensing fees for sophisticated mapping software can be prohibitive, and hiring specialist consultants to implement and manage these systems adds to the financial burden. Furthermore, charities often lack the in-house technical expertise to effectively leverage GIS technology, leading to further reliance on external support and increased overhead.
The Charity Geospatial Accelerator Programme (CGAP) is designed to overcome these challenges and make GIS accessible to all charities. We provide subsidised software licenses through non-profit agreements with leading providers, eliminating the financial hurdle of expensive software. Our team of expert consultants guides you through every step of the process, from strategy development and implementation to training and ongoing support, removing the need for costly in-house expertise.
With CGAP, you can unlock the full potential of GIS without the prohibitive costs and complexity. Visualise your data on maps, analyse spatial relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of the communities you serve. Optimise resource allocation, track programme effectiveness, and communicate complex information with clarity and impact. From fundraising and volunteer management to service delivery and advocacy, CGAP empowers your charity to make a lasting difference in the digital age.

Licensing, Account and Portal Setup
This is the backend set up of your accounts, databases, licenses and more - we'll take care of it! We will arrange licensing, account and portal setup - this is what we use to deliver your GIS outputs, but is a key part of the process, and is how we are able to offer CGAP at its current price point.
Strategy Development, Board Support and Initial Delivery
Topolab will create, develop and present a geospatial strategy to your board of trustees to ensure that you're being supported in meeting your charitable objectives through our programme.
Consultancy and GIS Output Delivery
We will deliver consultancy and digital mapping for your organisation, by providing block consultancy hours as part of the programme. Everything from maps, web tools, data analysis and acquisition to align with the geospatial strategy.
Volunteering & Ongoing Support
Approaching the end of the programme, we will use our knowledge of what the role required and our extensive network to help find you a volunteer to continue the good work. Alternatively, you can continue with Topolab at our normal rates.
