Track: Aid and Development
Authors: Lindsay Withers, Smitty Smith, Breece Robertson

As The Trust for Public Land's (TPL) GIS team works to provide services to internal TPL staff, collaborate with community partners during its "Greenprinting" projects, and complete other large- and small-scale projects, it continues to explore methods of incorporating into this work online mapping applications as an additional means of conveying geospatial information. With the introduction of ArcGIS Online for Orgs, TPL as a new subscriber is beginning the process of navigating the ArcGIS Online for Orgs subscription and credit structure, and is exploring how best to utilize the online service to support TPL's mission of conserving land for people. This paper will present TPL as a use-case for ArcGIS Online for Orgs, including potential barriers to, results of, and recommendations related to its use, which may be particularly useful for other non-profit organizations considering subscribing to the service.
