Detailed Description
 

The COVID-19 virus has presented Rochester entrepreneurs, businesses, and nonprofits with novel challenges. However, together, we can make a difference. A grassroots initiative, led by individuals at  Collider, BrandHoot, and Rochester Rising, is underway to build a free, public mobile application to support Rochester businesses.

If you are a Rochester-based business or nonprofit with a specific “ask” from the community during this time, or if you are a business or nonprofit with a business resource specific to COVID-19 to share, please take a few moments to fill out our intake form.

So, tell us, how can we help each other?

Please take a few moments and fill out our intake form via this link:

https://forms.gle/9cBFnwYoYZ4rN6LD9.

And please feel free to share this broadly amongst your Rochester-based networks. The goal with this app is to have, all in one place, the best way to help Rochester businesses during this difficult time. Right now, this initiative is only for business and non-profits located in Rochester. It is free for any Rochester business or nonprofit to add their information to and is being volunteer-led to try and do some thing to help our entrepreneurs.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that 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 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.
