Programs
Workshops & Capacity Building
Workshops tailored to let busy leaders and teams implement quickly and effectively.
Why Workshops Matter
Data tools aren’t always the problem. Most teams simply haven’t been given training that matches their real-world challenges. Staff turnover, tight budgets, and limited time leave organizations with information they can’t fully use.
Our workshops focus on practical skills that fit small teams, real workloads, and mission-driven priorities. We teach using the data and tools you already have to expand your impact, not your budget.
Training
Learning and Development Programs
Highly customized and relevant training courses.
Based on our experience in the nonprofit sector and statistics, these workshops are designed to address common stumbling blocks.
Using best practices from instructional design, each workshop is designed so that by its conclusion, not only will your team feel more confident, but they will also be able to immediately put the learning into practice.
Data for Small Teams
A workshop focused on simple, sustainable practices for organizations without a formal data department.
Ideal for: small nonprofits, local government programs, and social enterprises.
Participants will learn to:
Organize data so it’s easy to find and share
Reduce time spent hunting for numbers
Use low-cost, practical tools (no new software required)
Takeaway:
Attendees walk away with a practical checklist for organizing and maintaining data using low-cost tools your team can manage without dedicated IT or analytics staff.
Intro to Metrics that Matter
Not all numbers are equal. This workshop helps your organization build trusted metrics that reflect community impact—not vanity statistics.
Ideal for: leadership teams, program managers, and evaluation staff.
Participants will learn to:
Define indicators that align with mission outcomes
Build consensus on how metrics are used
Reduce confusion caused by conflicting numbers
Takeaway:
Your team receives a short guide to building shared metrics—including a worksheet to help define indicators that support funding, accountability, and mission outcomes.
Telling Your Impact with Data

Ideal for: grant reporting, communications, and fundraising teams.
Participants will learn to:
Choose meaningful charts and visuals
Communicate results without jargon
Highlight outcomes that strengthen funding and partnerships
Takeaway:
Participants leave with a simple visual playbook and example templates that show how to communicate outcomes clearly in reports, proposals, and presentations.
Generative AI Without the Hype
AI tools are everywhere, but nonprofits and local programs need more than quick answers and flashy demos. This workshop focuses on using AI responsibly to save time on everyday tasks—while maintaining privacy, ethics, and community trust.
Ideal for: program directors, communications teams, grant writers, and small staff looking to reduce repetitive work.
Participants will learn to:
Understand when AI helps—and when it creates risk or extra work
Use AI ethically in ways that protect sensitive data and communities
Create prompts that produce useful (not generic) results
Apply AI to real nonprofit tasks, such as:
drafting grant language responsibly
summarizing reports without losing nuance
writing communications with fact-checking safeguards
brainstorming new program ideas with equity checks
Takeaway:
A practical checklist and policy template to guide safe AI use in your organization.
How Workshops Support Broader Work
Workshops can stand alone, or they can support larger projects such as:
Building a data catalog (“what do we have and where does it live?”)
Creating metrics your whole team can trust
Designing simple processes to maintain data over time
Reducing manual reporting and spreadsheet chaos
Our goal is always the same: practical systems your team can maintain on its own.

Typical range: $500–$1,500 per session
