NNIP's Guide to Starting a Local Data Intermediary

Copyright

2016

This guide describes the role a local data intermediary plays in the community, the process of identifying a home for a local data intermediary, and how to think about its initial fundraising and activities.

The guide is intended to help stakeholders think about the broader environment of community information as well as understand the technical and business aspects of setting up a local data intermediary. The advice is based on the NNIP model and draws from the experiences of NNIP's local partners over the past 20 years.
