Nonprofit Data for Beginners

Host Organization: Idealware

About

The term “big data” gets used (and misused) a lot, making it seem scary and expensive. But bigger isn’t always better. Gathering the right data—and knowing how to use it—is what matters. Join us for Nonprofit Data for Beginners, a three-week course designed to help you ask the right questions, find the data you need, and use your data to strengthen your organization.

Through participation in this course, you will:

  • Consider what questions you need your data to answer.
  • Learn how to define your goals and develop processes for collecting your data.
  • Explore the many places where you can find useful data.
  • Learn how to manage your metrics and data so that they remain useful over the long term.
  • Dive into case studies of real organizations using data to make decisions.
