Optimize Our Data Collection Practices

Our organization needs your help becoming more data-driven! We are looking for a volunteer who can audit our current data-intake sources and practices, and deliver recommendations for optimizing our efforts.

This pro bono work will ideally be a donation of 2-5 hours per week one month by a volunteer. Tasks completed during this project may include:
-Audit of our nonprofit's existing data collection sources, including but not limited to: surveys, web or social media analytics, email stats, program intake forms, and stakeholder research.
-Assess our current use of data collection tools (red: there is work to be done, yellow: proceed with caution, green: we're doing great!)
-Research alternative evaluation or data collection tools our nonprofit could use
-Present recommendations for how we can optimize our data efforts moving forward
-If time permits, assist our staff in the begining stages of implementing said recommendations.

In the near future, we anticipate needing data for effectiveness of our programs. For this reason, this project is a priority to us at this time. With your help, can can set ourselves up to collect useful data for our stakeholders and for the communities we serve. Additionally, your insights will allow us to make improvements to data collection in other areas such as social media analytics, marketing campaigns, etc.

Our organization is committed to becoming more effective and efficient by leaning on data. We need to ensure that we're collecting the right information and in the right ways, first. We have identified a member of our team to be your point person on this project. We have gained leadership buy-in for this important work. Our team has also created a list of all current data collection methods that we are ready to share with the volunteer.
