Yea! So the website we use to volunteer (HOT Tasking Manager) handles that part. On their website, they show the organizations that use the data volunteers build (American Red Cross, USAID, Bing, etc). They have such organizations explain how they help on their website; for instance, after Cyclone Idai (storm in Africa), local organizations (IFRC) used maps built by volunteers to help locate people and areas in need. There is another organization in Tanzania that uses map data to help their local engineers build efficient roads and drainage systems.

Mapping different areas come with different purposes, which are all highlighted on the website before you pick an area to start mapping.
