The Community Resources system is a website that matches your constituents to up-to-date, local community resource information. Individuals in need may access the free matching service from anywhere with access to the Internet, such as a faith-based organization, police departments, government offices, schools, and public libraries.

We build the system to meet your organizational needs. You choose the type of services to include in your database, whether they are to address basic needs or to highlight volunteer opportunities in your community.

The Community Resources system relies on an Idealistics referral matching technology to connect people to services based on demographic characteristics, needs, and location. Referrals are more accurate, and your community better served, when they get only the information they need both quickly, and efficiently.

You know and understand the resources your community needs. What types of services go in your Community Resources system is up to you and your community stakeholders

Idealistics makes sure your database is always up-to-date by contacting all services provided in your system regularly. An Idealisitcs resource specialist verifies eligibility criterion, program description, hours of operation, and scope of services on a rolling basis.

Idealisitcs partnered with the United Way of Greater Los Angels (UWGLA) to build a Community Resources system that helps low-income working families find free income tax preparation services throughout Los Angeles County.
