CiviCore launches VIM - a FREE Visual Impact Mapping tool

CiviCore is excited to announce the launch of our first ever FREE piece of database software.  You can access the tool from the "free vim tool" link on our website, http://www.civicore.com, or directly from http://vim.civicore.com. VIM, short for Visual Impact Mapping, gives nonprofit organizations the ability to upload and manage a list of projects they are involved with using our extremely easy and intuitive software, and then to visually display these projects laid over a google maps interface.  Screenshot below (with more below the break):



We envision this tool being useful, for example, to foundations who would like to manage the grants they have distributed across communities, cities, or states and then showcase their work to others via the extremely familiar Google maps interface.  There are a number of other possible uses for this tool, and we are eager to share this technology as a token of our gratitude towards "people making a difference."  Enjoy!
