Hi there!

I like to spend my evenings mapping world, city and transportation, but wonder myself if there any kinda non-profit or small organizations that donate tips to local map contributors?

Maybe some city councils, emergency services, logistic companies and so on?

Thanks a lot

    Don’t know if it’s a useful answer to your question, but might try offering the addition / updating of company locations info as a service to companies. For example check for a bunch of shop brands whether or not most of their shops are on osm, and if they aren’t (or very outdated), you make an offer to add/update. Then there are a few possible outcomes (besides no reaction):

    • ‘yes, please help us!’
    • ‘oh, we didn’t know OSM exists. Thanks for the tip, but we’ll manage it ourselves’ -> which is also a good outcome for OSM.
    • ’why should we do that?’ / ‘no, too expensive’ -> evaluate your offer description or price
