WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In times of uncertainty, shifting funding landscapes, policy rollbacks, and increased pressures on communities, nonprofits are wise to look at their data and evaluation practices as a way to strengthen resilience, adapt and build advocacy power. This interactive bootcamp moves beyond compliance-driven data collection to show how evaluation can strengthen decision-making, drive learning, and amplify impact. Participants will learn what makes data and evaluation critical tools in times of change, and use an AI-driven data audit framework to assess how well their current data practices serve them in this moment. Participants will leave with new ideas and potential action steps that can help them re-align data practices as times change.
Who Should Attend?
Nonprofit professionals who are interested in using data to strengthen their organizations.
