Most nonprofit professionals today do not have the data training they need to meet requests from funders to be data-driven. This session reviews how January Advisors worked with Houston-area nonprofit organizations to develop and execute a strategy to become data-driven. Our work focused on training a cross-functional team of ‘Data Ambassadors’ to increase their data literacy, data skills, and knowledge about data at their organization. Today, the Data Ambassadors are helping their organizations move beyond funder requirements, and are using data to increase the efficiency and impact of their services.
