The class was very helpful in giving me a starting point to evaluate where my org is in data management and data culture, and how to begin to create a data culture. I received useful information on what possible KPIs to use and what should be done with the captured data.

You know you could be doing more with your fundraising efforts, but where do you begin? The answer lies in your data. You’re already collecting valuable information about your donors and their behavior, so it’s time to start putting it to good use.
Get the skills to analyze your development and fundraising processes and activities to identify useful data, which you can use to engage donors and increase income. You’ll learn to define metrics to track your development efforts and fundraising. We’ll also explore how organizational culture, processes, and policies help or hurt your journey towards becoming a data-driven organization.
You will also learn to evaluate your organization’s readiness for this journey of becoming a data-driven organization. And you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on how you can spearhead a data-driven mindset within your organization.
