CARTO, a geospatial data visualization platform, is making its software available for free to public and private sector organizations fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's grants program will provide access to its platform, enabling organizations to create maps that bring together different streams of open data and leverage information from the Data Observatory. Grants have already been approved for various projects, including those from healthcare organizations, governments, media outlets, and individuals, aiming to increase awareness, optimize resource allocation, and support decision-making efforts in the fight against COVID-19. Organizations can apply for access to CARTO's platform through its grants page, which promises to review and approve applications within 2 working days and provide support throughout the process.
