Evaluation Survey
From surveys about your programs to data about your donors–how can your organization go beyond using data to report on what has happened and use it to predict what will happen to ultimately optimize your work? DataKind brings together pro bono data scientists (statisticians, analysts, developers, and designers) with high impact mission-driven organizations to tackle the world’s biggest challenges through data science.

In this panel discussion, you will hear from two organizations that have worked with DataKind volunteers to leverage the power of data science to inform their decisions and advance their missions: GlobalGiving and Crisis Text Line. Learn how your organization can use data to go beyond descriptive insights to predictive and prescriptive insights that can transform your work.
