Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition

What Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition does

Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition (CGIC) is a Savannah, Georgia-based nonprofit founded in 2014 to lead the development and ongoing measurement of the Chatham Community Blueprint, a long-term strategic plan for Chatham County tracked through 2035 across four priority areas: Economy, Education, Health, and Quality of Life. The organization positions itself as a community "data and thought partner," aggregating local and national indicators, convening public, nonprofit, and private stakeholders, and publishing annual Chatham Community Blueprint Status Reports that benchmark community progress against state, national, and Healthy People 2030 data.

CGIC's core product surface is an interactive Data Dashboard (datadashboard.coastalgaindicators.org) built on Conduent Healthy Communities Institute technology. The dashboard integrates a Demographics Data Tool with population, household, housing, and education statistics; the SocioNeeds Index Suite (Community Health Index, Food Insecurity Index, Mental Health Index) producing validated composite scores over social determinants of health; a Promising Practices database of 2,420+ documented community health approaches; a Funding Opportunities Resource Library; and a Report Builder that exports custom indicator reports as PDFs. A separate Chatham Community Blueprint module hosts goals, strategies, and indicators by priority area. All products are delivered to end users free of charge.

CGIC's business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than commercial. There is no pricing, no published revenue, and no paying customers in the disclosed data; funding flows through a Zeffy donation portal and, presumably, foundation grants and local government support. The organization is governed by a board drawing representatives from Chatham County Commission, United Way of the Coastal Empire, Gateway Community Service Board, Brightside Child & Family Advocacy, Goodwill of Southeast Georgia, and the Savannah Economic Development Authority, with day-to-day leadership from Executive Director Kim Clifton and Director of Programs and Partnerships Tara Jones. Headcount sits in the 11–50 range.
