What kinds of data & analytics support do nonprofits need?
When nonprofits are looking for data help, it's usually related to program monitoring and evaluation or donor information management.
- Donor information management: Setting up an organization's contacts in a CRM so that they can manage and nurture their relationships. They might use Salesforce (which has free user licenses for nonprofits), fundraising-specific software that any CRM professional could learn quickly, or general spreadsheet platforms like Excel, Google Sheets, or Airtable
- Monitoring and evaluation: Supporting with quantitative and qualitative research to evaluate the effectiveness of their programming, and creating data visualizations to share with funders
- Training: Helping staff members become self-sufficient with Excel (creating pivot tables, using functions like VLOOKUPs)
Why should I volunteer my data and analytics skills?
Volunteering your data and analytics skills is a powerful way to give back. Even better, having pro bono consulting on your resume will help you stand out to future employers, and the references you gain from nonprofits you work with will add to your credibility.
