You have heard bits of this in the QuantCorner from previous episodes, but in this episode we focus in in the incredible depth of Constance’s knowledge.
Episode 3, “When the World Changes, Our Questions Change” features Constance’s thoughts on:
· Stabilizing Trends. A year ago when the pandemic began, data and insights shifted hourly or daily. Now, the industry is seeing more stability, giving hope for continued healing in organizations and communities as we move forward.
· Pivoting on a Dime. Even with data constantly shifting early in the pandemic, one constant was the ability for nonprofit organizations to meet the ever-changing needs of their communities. This was reflected in rising donations, emergency childcare for essential workers, outreach to seniors, virtual check-ins, and so much more.
· Data or Insight? Learn the important distinction between data and insight. Together, these numbers—and the stories they tell—enrich the impact of nonprofits and provide proof points on what communities need.
