Maybe you have to conduct an evaluation as part of a grant that you received. Or, perhaps your Board has been asking about results, or your staff is starting to wonder how effective a program is. No matter the reason, assessing your programs and activities can help you get more bang for your buck.

When you have the right data, in the right places, and you can bring it all together, you get powerful insights. We can assess your current data collection systems, determine the information you need to make game-changing decisions, and get your data systems to talk to each other. Bringing that data together into our reporting portal gives you the power to make all your decisions data-driven.

Fundraising data is key to targeting your efforts, and maximizing your resources. You probably have a digital marketing database, a direct marketing database, and even a donor database. But can you analyze it all in one place? We’ll help you warehouse and report on the right data, so you can target your communications, figure out what works and what doesn’t, and personalize your fundraising efforts to raise more money with less effort.

Our team of researchers and evaluators put their love for numbers and data to work to help our clients improve their projects and programs. We have the expertise to tackle the evaluation and research projects that strike fear into the hearts of your most industrious staff members. No matter how large or small your project is, we will help your program be as effective as possible. From program evaluation design, to support for grants and proposals, surveys, focus groups, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, and more, we make sure you have the data you need and know how to use it. It may seem like there’s an ocean between where you are and where you want to be, but we make the trip easy and we make the trip fun.

We start with a data assessment with every client. We figure out whether you are collecting the right information, storing and processing it in the most efficient way, and getting the right answers from it. Then, we design a data ecosystem that is perfect for where you are now and where your organization is heading. Our strategies and designs take into account what systems you already have, whether that’s a complete database, or a variety of data entry, storage and reporting tools that you are using. For instance, you might have a survey platform, a member or volunteer database, and attendance data from events that all come from different systems. Likewise you might have a favorite BI tool like Tableau or Microsoft PowerBI that you want to continue using. We can work with all of it.

We've been there – frustrated by data management software options because we didn't love what we saw, so we built our own custom platform, called Incite. Incite is a cloud-based, software-as-a-service platform designed to enter and store data, and create reports for nonprofits, associations, and fundraising professionals. Incite provides a portal accessible via desktop or mobile devices. We understand the work you do because we’ve been helping you wrangle data for over 15 years. We built Incite after extensive user testing to make sure it was easy for our clients, and because we are data geeks you know we made sure that the data stored there is as accurate as it can be, and that especially includes the reports that come out of Incite.
