I discuss ways of constraining dark matter properties using a combination of direct and indirect dark matter measurements. The DAMA, CoGeNT, and CRESST experiments have obtained tentative evidence for low mass WIMPs. I show that the CMB is a clean probe of low mass WIMPs, and the WMAP+SPT measurements place competitive bounds on light WIMPs. I discuss how these dark matter bounds may be further improved by including other data sets, such as counts of galaxy clusters.
