Non-profit Data Network

Connecting Data People in the Sector

There are few opportunities for people who work with data in the non-profit sector to connect with each other. This is especially critical for those who are the lone "data person" in their organization and who do not have a team or colleagues in similar roles to fallback on for support.

We have begun to convene an informal network to help cultivate these relationships and provide a space for mutual support, to learn from each other, and to engage in professional development. The network connects virtually via Slack and through an online meet-up group.

Do you work at a non-profit or charity in a data analyst, decision support, business intelligence, or other data-related role?

Convo Catalyst is a networking style event, inspired by DataOrchard's Datafolk Club, that revolves around thought-provoking themes. Throughout the hour you will get a chance to discuss some questions with fellow data enthusiasts in small breakout rooms. It's a great way to meet other people working with data in the nonprofit sector and to learn from each other.

Please note that event participants are expected to follow our Code of Coduct.
