Better Data Better Policy

The Impact Project provides objective, transparent, and open-source data to help explain how federal policies, funding, and workforce changes affect our communities.

Our first tool, the Impact Map, shows the local impact of federal workforce, funding, and policy decisions. Given the limited availability of reliable data, the Impact Map will evolve as new data becomes available. Click here to learn more about our data sources and methods.
