Apparo Wraps Up Technology Trailblazers Data Foundations Cohort Program for 9 Organizations
Apparo wraps up the Technology Trailblazers Data Foundations Cohort Program for 9 organizations, sponsored by Adam and Dawn Boitnott, Aly Brooke, Don and Jaimee Robles, and Darrell Thompson. Through workshops and 1:1 mentor meetings, participating nonprofits gained the knowledge and skills needed to make more informed, strategic decisions about their data, empowering them to better support their unique missions.
Cohort Topics Included:
- Core data concepts and tools to help nonprofits confidently navigate today’s digital landscape
- How to identify and collect meaningful data aligned with organizational goals
- Practical skills for organizing, managing, and reporting data using spreadsheets
- Techniques for analyzing data and crafting compelling stories to share impact
- Privacy and security basics to help safeguard sensitive data, build internal confidence, and maintain client and donor trust
In addition, each participating nonprofit received access to Apparo’s Data Maturity Model self-assessment. Working with a dedicated mentor, organizations reviewed their results to clarify strengths and gaps, prioritize areas for growth, and identify actionable next steps to advance their data strategy.
