Distressed properties in Detroit, 2019
Where it Began
Regrid grew up in the civic technology, open data, and community advocacy scenes of Detroit, Michigan circa 2010 - 2020 (where we were founded and worked as Loveland Technologies).
We know that some of the most important projects in the world are way underfunded and that great data is needed by nonprofits, academics, governments, and advocates that don’t have large or consistent budgets.
What is Data With Purpose?
Regrid’s Data With Purpose program allows nonprofit projects that directly assist communities or advance our shared understanding of land and geographies to apply to use our parcel data* on a “pay what you can” basis.
You assess your own budget and tell us what’s possible for you. We’ll assess the request and let you know if it’s possible.
We are in the process of formalizing the application process for this program - for now, you can fill out the form below and someone will be with you shortly.
*Please note that this program is for our parcel data only. For those interested in matched building footprints or secondary addresses, please get in touch with our friendly sales team.
Do you Qualify?
Applicants do not need to have official nonprofit status and can include researchers, academics, governments, and community organizations who are purely using the data to enlighten or improve a situation in the world, and not for business purposes.
Our only ask is that you credit our contribution and allow us to promote your project when it is complete.

"How do you conserve a healthy environment - forests, species, open space - with limited funding under a rapidly changing climate? It’s a phenomenal challenge! Regrid’s “Data with Purpose” program has allowed us, for the first time, to map potential benefits and costs of land conservation actions for (almost) every parcel in the country. It's an incredible novel and valuable foundation for scientific analysis and decision making that we could only have dreamed of five years ago."
"Over the past two years, I have had an opportunity to use and become familiar with the Regrid App. I can honestly say that it made canvassing the neighborhoods a million times easier, and much more efficient and effective! Being able to tap on an address, zoom in on a particular house or street, and store and track the data over a period of time enabled me and my team to keep meticulous records that were essential to our job success! Real-time updates, as well as phone support, helped a great deal whenever there were any issues. Keep up the good work. It definitely helps the ‘little folks’ out in the field every day."

Community Driven Growth: A Roadmap for Dallas Equitable Development
In September of 2018, TREC (The Real Estate Council), Loveland, and other partners began a project called Community Driven Growth with funding from the JPMorgan Chase Pro Neighborhoods Grant Program. The goal was to work in three Dallas neighborhoods considered at risk of gentrification - the Bottom, Forest District and West Dallas - to pilot a model of what resident and community driven growth looks like. Loveland facilitated a large resident surveying project which you can read about in depth on this page; you can also read its affiliated document, the overall report of these efforts (of which Loveland was just one facet) here. This surveying component was intended to supplement other data being collected by the Community Driven Growth partners regarding community preferences, needs, and concerns.
Land Along the US-Mexico Border
Our nationwide parcel data is perfect for answering basic questions about the border wall that we hadn't heard much about in the media coverage.
Looking Back at the 2017 Tax Foreclosure Auction: 2020 Report
What happened to the more than 6,000 properties that were involved in the 2017 Detroit Tax Foreclosure Auction? Detroit Action Commonwealth and Loveland teamed up to track these properties over time and understand more about how the auction process affects the city and its residents.
Neighbor to Neighbor: The First Detroit Property Tax Foreclosure Census
The Quicken Loans Community Fund, in partnership with the United Community Housing Coalition, sent teams of more than 400 Detroiters to visit every home at risk of tax foreclosure in the city of Detroit - 60,000 households. At each house, surveyors distributed foreclosure prevention information and gathered data using the Loveland survey app.
Cleveland Re-Survey
Western Reserve Land Conservancy surveyed every parcel in Cleveland in 2015 using the Loveland survey app. In 2018, they revisited more than 70,000 parcels on the east side, in order to see the impact of demolition funding during the past three years and analyze change over time in some of Cleveland’s hardest-hit neighborhoods.
