AI Training
How we helped a nonprofit staff move from AI fear to AI curiosity.
A mid-sized human services nonprofit was divided — some staff were eager to try AI tools, others felt deeply skeptical and worried about job loss. We designed and led a customized, half-day AI literacy training that centered real concerns without dismissing them. Staff left with a shared vocabulary, a values-based AI framework, and practical prompts relevant to their daily work. The organization reported stronger cross-team conversations about technology within weeks.
Donor & Member Data Collection
How we helped a regional foundation redesign their donor survey from scratch.
A community foundation had been using the same donor survey for six years — response rates were falling and the data wasn't informing decisions. We audited their existing survey, identified questions that were extractive or confusing, and co-designed a new survey rooted in equity and authentic engagement. The redesigned survey launched with a 40% higher response rate, and for the first time, donors shared qualitative feedback that directly shaped the foundation's next funding priorities.
AI IMPACT
How we helped a funder assess the risks and opportunities of AI across their grantee network.
A philanthropic organization wanted to understand how AI was already showing up — intended or not — across the nonprofits they funded. We conducted a landscape scan, built an assessment framework, and facilitated small group conversations with grantees. Together, we documented where AI was helping, where it was creating new burdens, and what equitable AI adoption could look like in their ecosystem. The funder used the findings to inform a new AI policy for their grantmaking.
Program Evaluation
How we helped a youth-serving nonprofit tell a truer story about their impact.
A nonprofit serving youth in under-resourced communities had strong programs — but their evaluation was almost entirely output-focused: numbers served, events held. We partnered with their team to build an equity-centered evaluation framework that captured outcomes meaningful to the youth themselves. This meant co-designing data collection with young people, shifting away from deficit-framing, and finding community-defined measures of success. Their next funder report told a story that finally matched the depth of their work.
AI Keynote Speaking
How our CEO Meena Das helped an audience of data professionals find their own role in responsible AI.
When a national data conference asked me to close their annual event with a keynote on responsible AI, Meena didn't want to leave people inspired but stuck. Meena built the talk around a single question: what is your specific sphere of influence? Whether someone managed a CRM, wrote grant reports, or led a team — Meena showed them one concrete thing they could do Monday morning. The response was the most interactive Q&A we facilitated at a conference, and three organizations reached out afterward to begin consulting engagements.
Data Strategy & Capacity Building
How I helped an emerging BIPOC-led nonprofit build a data culture before they needed one.
A young, BIPOC-led organization was growing fast and knew they needed to get serious about data — but didn't know where to start, and didn't want to import practices that had historically harmed communities like theirs. Over several sessions, we helped them define what data meant to them organizationally, identify what they actually needed to collect (and what they didn't), and build simple, sustainable systems their small team could maintain. They ended their engagement with a data values statement, a streamlined collection process, and the confidence to say no to data asks that didn't serve their mission.
Fundraising Analytics
How we helped a community-based organization understand who their donors actually were.
A grassroots organization had been fundraising for years but had never really looked at their donor data with intention. When they came to us, they had a messy database, inconsistent records, and no sense of giving patterns. We cleaned and analyzed their data through an equity lens — looking not just at gift size, but at loyalty, community connection, and retention by donor segment. What we uncovered surprised their team: their most committed donors were not their largest ones. That insight reshaped their entire stewardship strategy going into the next campaign.
