About the Workshop

Behind every thriving program is a story that data alone can't tell and a set of numbers that, without the right narrative, no one will remember. A program can point to a strong quarter of enrollment growth, or cite the number of families served, but numbers on their own rarely explain why something worked, who it mattered to, or what should happen next. That gap is where good organizations lose the very people they're trying to convince funders, board members, and community partners among them.

Too often, organizations collect data because they're supposed to, because a grant requires it, a board

expects it, or "everyone tracks this" without a clear sense of why it matters or how it connects to funding, growth, and stakeholder interests. Data collected without a clear purpose tends to pile up rather than pay off. This interactive workshop reframes data as a foundation for program success, not just a reporting requirement, but a means to track and communicate your program's insights, outcomes, and impact.

By the end of this workshop you'll understand:

The important elements to developing an impactful data story
What data makes sense to collect and how how to appropriately collect data
How to use dashboards to track and communicate program insights, successes, and impact

This workshop is designed for:

Nonprofit program staff looking to strengthen grant reports and board presentations
Public health professionals who track outcomes but want to communicate them more effectively
Health educators translating program data into compelling community impact stories
Community-based organization (CBO) leaders preparing to make the case for funding and partnership
