Where to Start?

Data Aims was created to help organizations simplify data collection tools and processes to achieve high quality data. We want to make it easier for you to report your impact to your funders, your community, and within your organization, without breaking your budget.

What do we do with the data we collect? How should we interpret the data we collect?

If you have been collecting data to “check the box” but want to get more out of that data, we can sit down with you to discuss how to analyze and use your data to make informed programmatic decisions. We can also help you identify data points to consider to meet your future goals or potential funding opportunities.

We were awarded a grant for a new program! How do we track the data we need?

First of all, congratulations! We know that funder data collection requirements can be daunting, and we want to help! • We can help you interpret funder data collection requirements, refine (or create) your logic model, identify the key outcomes to measure, and strategies for data collection that meet those requirements and are also sustainable given staff capacity and the grant’s budget.

How do we know if we are meeting the needs of our community??

The first step is to regularly ask the community what they need AND how you can best address those needs. • If your community is your city, county, or region, or the people your organization serves, we can help you ask about needs in a way that will get open and honest feedback that can help you determine the best programming to address those needs.
