The Crucial Role of Data in Non-profit Grant Funding

In this episode, I'm diving deep into why data collection and tracking are absolute game-changers for non-profit organizations, especially when it comes to snagging those crucial grant funds. I'm all about getting the full picture, which means not just crunching numbers but also capturing those heartwarming stories that truly showcase our impact. 

I'll walk you through a handy five-question guide to evaluate your current data practices, because let's face it, we can always level up. 

From day one, I'm all about data – using it to back up our relevance, measure our progress, and guide our decisions at every turn. We'll also chat about how to navigate those pesky constraints in data collection and even how to weave stories seamlessly into our data narrative. Plus, we'll explore techniques for tracking trends and spotting behavior change. 

Stick around as we cover data-driven goodness from start to finish!
