A community of ambitious data professionals

We bridge the gap between the not-for-profit sector and data and AI practitioners by delivering hands-on expertise, building a community committed to social good, and growing data capability across the sector. Our vision is a world in which not-for-profits use data and AI confidently and effectively to increase their impact, without being held back by cost or lack of access to expertise.

Practical support

We partner with charities to tackle data challenges and leverage AI opportunities, delivering hands-on, professional support that removes the barriers of cost and complexity.

COMMUNITY

We cultivate a diverse, thriving community where data professionals and not-for-profit sector professionals connect, collaborate, and grow together around a shared commitment to social impact.

Capability building

We grow data and AI confidence across the charity sector, so that more organisations know what's possible with data and AI, and how to get the help they need.

Challenges faced by NFPs

Intelligent use of data can significantly increase the effectiveness of charities. This isn’t a new concept. Most, even all, charities use basic data in some way. But the potential of data is significantly enhanced when used by experienced professionals with dedicated D&A tools.

“Non-profits may lack resources, time, know-how and strategy surrounding data and analytics”

Resources

Non-profits may lack access to important data analytics tools due to cost constraints and the absence of an economy of scale

Know-How

Non-profit organisations may not have the required skills for data analytics, such as programming, visualisation, mapping and statistics in house

Time-Limited

Given time constraints, non-profits need to maximise and double down on efforts that are likely to succeed

Strategy

Developing sound business strategy from data & analytics requires a unique blend of analytical and commercial skills
