"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The White House has partnered with agencies, tech companies and others to launch the "Opportunity Project" https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/03/07/fact-sheet-white-house-launches-opportunity-project-utilizing-open-data initiative, complete with an open data site that assists citizens with 12 new apps for jobs, housing and more.

Van Noppen said as work progresses, the White House will reach out to additional cities, companies, nonprofits and the public for support. The U.S. Census Bureau has also released a software development kit on GitHub https://uscensusbureau.github.io/citysdk/examples/arcGisHUD/ for interested developers.
