Data tells the story of our lives. It is gathered from our Apple watches, Netflix selections, and grocery membership cards.
What story does your data tell?
The stories our data tell are of great importance, as data helps us understand ourselves and make informed decisions for the future. This is also true of nonprofits, who use data to tell their stories time and time again to funders, prospective funders, the community, and their staff.
The Charlotte Urban Institute (Institute) is committed to helping equip nonprofits to tell their stories. In our traditional role, we act as third-party evaluators for our nonprofit partners. We help partners manage their data and understand what aspects of their programs are working and creating impact, and what areas could be improved.
With support from an anonymous funder, the Institute is now developing another pathway to support nonprofit data storytelling: the Impact, Data, and Evaluation Academy (IDEA).
