From a real engagement: Washington Improv Theater
Most nonprofits will never have the budget for a full-time data person. PhilanthroData does the hands-on work that person would do, then leaves your team able to keep it going on their own.
Why PhilanthroData exists
The mission: to give under-resourced nonprofits enterprise-grade data and analytics capability, and the skills to keep it running on their own. How the model works
You have the systems. You don't have the data person.
You already have a CRM, a website, maybe a dashboard or two. What you don't have is someone whose job is to make them work together. If any of these sound familiar, I can help.
Leadership doesn't trust the numbers
Three reports give three different answers, so decisions wait while someone figures out which one is right.
Reporting eats a staff member's afternoon
Every month someone copies numbers between spreadsheets to build the same board report by hand.
Your website data has gaps
Donations, ticket sales or sign-ups aren't tracked properly, so you can't tell which outreach is working.
Fix it, then hand it off
Pick one real decision
We start with a free call to agree on one decision your organization needs to make. That keeps the work on something useful, not a vague goal like "understand our audience."
Fix, then build
I fix tracking and data problems first. Then I build reporting your team will actually use, sized for the time and people you have.
Runs without me
One staff member gets a monthly checklist and a standing AI prompt that take about 30 minutes a month. You won't need me, or any consultant, to keep it going.
A first engagement takes 3 to 4 weeks and usually about 10 hours of my time. See services, deliverables and pricing

I started PhilanthroData because I wanted a way to give back, and my experience lets me help the people who help others. You'll work with me directly, from the first call to the handoff.
