Description

Raise your hand if data scares you. It is okay to admit it. It’s true for many of us.


But data is a vital part of organizational health and strategic planning. 


In this episode, Tucker Wannamaker, CEO of THRIVE IMPACT, and Sarah Fanslau, Chief of Impact, discuss the role of data, qualitative and quantitative, in uncovering community needs, identifying areas of opportunity, and charting a future direction.


They talk about and define outputs, outcomes, and impact, and discuss the power of two questions that should be central to EVERY nonprofit’s conversation around impact–what change it is making, and what does it take? 


This episode will help you identify the next steps to take on your data journey, regardless of where you are starting.
