Learn More About the Data Strategy

With the support of the Alberta Nonprofit Network and the Ministry of Culture, in 2019-2020 PolicyWise brought together over 25 data champions to advance the non-profit sector’s strategic use of data. We have continued to expand on this work by focusing on building capacity, collecting data, and conducting analysis about and for the non-profit sector.
