Mapping who, what, when & WHERE
Our Mission
Girls Who Map, provides mapping services and geospatial resources to communities, parks, and historical sites—primarily on a pro bono basis.
Our work is sustained through gifts, donations, and grants, and we operate exclusively to support charitable and educational goals.
We believe maps can empower communities, preserve cultural heritage, and make public spaces more accessible to everyone.
