SharedGeo is an IT services and consulting nonprofit based in St. Paul, Minnesota, founded in 2008. The organization focuses on advancing mapping technologies and facilitating the sharing of geographic data to support disaster response, public safety, environmental, and related community benefits, with an emphasis on reusable open-source mapping tools that enable collaboration and data sharing for the public good. Its target audiences include government, nonprofit, education, and corporate entities, for whom SharedGeo aims to help plan, respond to, and manage geographic information more effectively. In recent years, the group has expanded its activities beyond disaster relief to broader applications of mapping in public health and mission-driven initiatives, including a web map interface launched in 2020 to visualize COVID-19 spread, and a free open-source solution released in 2021 to address a cartographic problem. The organization positions itself as a Minnesota-based, federally recognized nonprofit that partners with diverse communities of interest to develop and implement shared geospatial tools and data resources.
