About Us
Offered in partnership with Community Networking Group (CNG) and openBEAM.net, Community Asset Portal (CAP) is a sub-site of dmcbeam.org . CAP is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects/initiatives/programs) that can underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:
- For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
- For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
- Our hope is that CAP will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.
White there are a number of registries in the community, CAP's distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevancies with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements.
This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. CAP could be an interesting first step.
