A FPA Research Month Special Event
PhilanthroTHINK: Data and the nonprofit sector, opportunities and challenges in a digital world.

Whether discussing Big, Open, Shared or Transparent data, everyone seems to have their own perspective on what data can accomplish—and in some cases, not accomplish—in the nonprofit sector. Calls for more data relevant to the nonprofit sector raise important questions about the type of data needed in the sector, the capacity of the sector to process and learn from this data, and collective processes to efficiently and ethically manage data sharing within and beyond the sector.

In this panel, experts from the nonprofit, private, and public sector will consider how new sources of data, and new tools for its interpretation could support a more resilient, collaborative and accountable nonprofit sector, highlighting the steps that should be taken to realize this potential.
