As nonprofits face funding cuts and rising expenses, it is more crucial than ever to have access to accurate data that helps us manage our resources and meet the growing needs in our communities. As the availability and reliability of federal data becomes unpredictable, nonprofit and public sector professionals must think creatively about how to navigate this changing landscape and find partnerships that can help us maximize the resources available.
Join us for a 90-minute in-person event designed to foster connections, share resources, and highlight reliable state data.
During this event, you will hear from state agency leaders about the data they are working to make available, including updates on ongoing projects and information about data sources you may not have considered. We will also discuss changes at the federal level and how they may affect data availability in the future. Then, participate in small group discussions to share challenges and brainstorm solutions for filling data gaps in your community. We’ll conclude with dedicated networking time to build relationships and strengthen our data community.
Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, data professional, or simply passionate about evidence-based social change, you’ll gain new insights, valuable resources, and stronger connections. Let’s create a more resilient, informed, and connected data ecosystem.
