Participants and Stakeholders

The DataCommon project is a joint effort between primary project participants CMRPC and MAPC, with MRPC as a key collaborator assisting the team to provide data from North Worcester County. In addition, a comprehensive project committee is being assembled to be made up of a variety of project stakeholders and interested participants from the region’s giving community, health institutions, educational institutions, business community, local and regional governance, safety and security agencies, and many others. 

Funding

Initial funding for Phase I of the project was provided by the Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts and the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. In addition, CMRPC, MAPC, and MRPC each contributed in-kind services as a match for the foundation funding. Fundraising for Phase II, which will support DataCommon enhancements, the Data Day event, and the community indicators phase, is underway.
