Using Data Refineries to Drive Social Impact – Learn How!

Host Organization: Stanford Social Innovation Review

About

Are you getting the most out of your data to drive impact and funding? If not, join this hour with Stanford Social Innovation Review and the Center for Impact Studies, University of Chicago to learn approachable steps to refine your nonprofit data use. Data is power. But the social sector lacks effective data standards and outcomes. While the power of data is well leveraged to create commercial value, it is significantly underutilized in solving our greatest social and environmental challenges.

An effective response to data underutilization is data refineries. How do data refineries work, what benefits do they provide, and what can they do for your organization?

In this complimentary SSIR Live! program, participants will:

  • Learn how to think about social impact in terms of standardized, structured data
  • Discover the effects of the digital divide between social sector and commercial organizations
  • Develop strategies for solving difficult measurement and evaluation problems
  • Explore innovative ways to use data at scale to attract funding for your mission
  • Examine real-world use cases of how data refineries can help your organization and the field make better decisions
