A common question we hear from prospective volunteers is: what is it actually like to be part of the Good Data Institute's Data For Good Cohort?

GDI helped We Are Mobilise automate CRM workflows, cut costs by up to $6 per client interaction, and build secure integrations—accelerating support for people facing homelessness across Australia. This project migrated key automations into the CRM, improved data quality and UX, and reduced manual steps—advancing Mobilise’s Project 10,000 goal to impact 10,000 lives by 2030.

GDI has created a practical guide to help charities choose the right CRM—breaking down pricing, features, and real-world examples from recent projects. With input from our data science volunteers, the guide supports nonprofits to manage donor, volunteer, and partner data more effectively. Whether you're scaling operations or just starting out, it’s a must-read for anyone navigating charity data and CRM decisions.
