Organization: League of Women Voters - Rochester Chapter

Sector: 501C-3 Non-Profit

Organization Mission: As we enter our 2nd Century, it’s time to reflect on how we should carry out our work going forward as local Leagues, the State and National League, all working together to accomplish our shared mission to empower voters and defend democracy. We are assembling a group of League leaders to help us specifically evaluate the State League role at this time, and to provide guidance to the State Board on how to best position its resources of time, talents and treasures within the next two years to build a foundation of success for our 2nd Century.

About Beam
  • 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 dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org'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 relevance 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. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
