Presentation Summary: The goal of data visualization in the nonprofit sector is to inform, inspire, and drive action. By combining compelling narratives with visually engaging data, you’ll discover how nonprofits can effectively communicate their impact and connect with their audience on a deeper level. Learn about the challenges and approaches with data management and what you should be thinking about when planning a data-intensive digital project, including challenges and dependencies between the offline/online product process. And, see examples in action as AARP shares how it leveraged state/rankings data to build a powerful visual online scorecard tool on long-term services and supports for older adults, people with physical disabilities, and family caregivers. You’ll also get a technology primer (for non-technical folks) on what you need to know to build effective data visualizations.
