Hey, let's make data "do-able"
You don't need a data scientist - just the right filters and a good list

🪨 The problem
Data can feel overwhelming, especially for small teams already stretched thin. Tools like donor databases and CRMs promise insights, but the day-to-day reality often feels messy and out of reach.
🧰 Why it’s worth solving
One nonprofit was determined to make their CRM useful again—but they didn’t have time for a complex analytics overhaul. Instead, they focused on what mattered: clarity, simplicity, and actionability.
🔑 How we made it better
Together, we used practical criteria to clean and segment their system, then built user-friendly visuals and guides to help staff apply the changes. In just a few weeks, the team felt confident using their data to drive outreach, deliver programs, and create reports without needing new software or specialized skills.
