By many counts, they&#8217;ve made better use of social media than any sector &#8211; but it&#8217;s certainly true that nonprofits tend to be time-crunched and cash-strapped. That means that mission comes first.

The spark that drove our hunt for up-to-date nonprofit data was a desire to tell the story of that community’s ride through the economic recession.

Well, here&#8217;s its complement. While Fusion Tables is a useful and flexible platform for viewing, manipulating, and sharing data in table form, it&#8217;s a little limited in its visualization capabilities (see an earlier post on Fusion, here).
