Data Services
Data doesn’t have to be a burden on you, your staff, or the communities you serve. We see data as a powerful tool that can help you create real, systemic social change. We work alongside you as data capacity builders, meeting you where you are, and listening to your data dreams.
Data Capacity Building Services
Data Review
We methodically look through all of your data collection tools to ensure you are collecting what you need, and only what you need, to minimize burden on clients and staff, and maximize how you can use your data.
Data Quality
Telling the real story of the communities you serve needs high quality data. We help you assess your current data quality, develop strategies to improve, and train staff in best practices for high quality data.
Data Justice
We work with you to make sure all of your data collection tools and practices adhere to the principles of data justice, meaning they center community, and work to heal the historic harms of data and research.
Data Visualization
Visuals can give your data context, making the data more meaningful. We can support creating visualizations to support sharing your story to a wide variety of audiences. That can include charts, graphs, word clouds, infographics and much more.
Training + Mentorship
We provide a wide variety of group trainings or individual mentorship sessions on data tools and practices including Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, Apricot, Community Research, Data Analysis and more. Contact us with your needs!
Community Research
We can support a wide variety of culturally-responsive research projects, including surveys, needs assessments, landscape analyses, community cafes, focus groups, photovoice projects and more–from design to final reports.
Data Process Improvement
Data is sometimes an afterthought for busy organizations, and can often feel like a waste of time. We help you identify and improve on your data pain points and document the improved processes.
Process Documentation
One of the keys to maintaining high quality data is consistency. We help you document your data practices into custom, accessible tools that work for the learning styles of your team.
