CI:Now becomes 501(c)3 nonprofit

As CI:Now rounds out our second decade of democratizing data, we’re excited to announce that we have transitioned to a 501(c)3 nonprofit structure. Nonprofit status simplifies the grant and contract arrangements that support our growing operations, while preserving community ownership and leadership via our volunteer Board of Directors , formerly called the Policy Group.

United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County , one of CI:Now’s late 1990s founders and its fiscal agent and funder in every year since, remains a strong working partner in our efforts to turn data into information Texas communities can use to make our world better. CI:Now’s core staffing will remain with the UTHealth School of Public Health in San Antonio , a great academic partner to our community focus. CI:Now will continue to serve as a local partner in the National Neighborhood Indicators Project and a member of the Community Indicators Consortium and the San Antonio Nonprofit Council .
