What We Do

You know the data can help. You have heard about all the wonderful things people are doing with data, and you would love to be able to track your progress towards organizational goals and improve efficiency. You know that the funders who can take your organization to the next level want to see the data on your impact.

But you don’t think your organization can handle it. Maybe no one has the time to pull together the data. Maybe your people don’t have the training to know what data to look for. Maybe you don’t have the money for the fancy new system you don’t think you need.

But you can still do data.

We can help

Sunlight Data & Strategy provides C-Suite, Ph.D. data skills and strategic thinking at a cost that education and nonprofit clients can afford.

We have a four-step process that will let you reap the benefits of data-driven strategy while saving money.

  1. We work with your leadership to understand your organizational goals.

  2. We talk with your tech team, even if that tech team is just one person who knows a little Excel. We get a full picture of the landscape of your organization, so that we can make recommendations that are tailored to you.

  3. We work with the information you already collect to produce 5 key organizational metrics that can help you measure the impact you’re making and save you money. We don’t do one size fits all packages. These are metrics designed to your specific circumstances, because we want you to use the results to maximize the difference you make in your communities.

  4. Most importantly, we set you up for success long after our business together is done. We teach your staff how to easily and quickly calculate the 5 metrics. We work with your leadership team to understand what the metrics mean and, crucially, how you can move them in the right direction, because better metrics equal better performance.

These services might usually cost an organization $100,000 or more, but we know that’s not the world you live in. We’ve been working in education and with nonprofits our whole lives, and we know how stretched your money already is. We provide these services at a fraction of the cost because we believe in the work you do. Our aim as a business is to be a small part of work that helps people and makes the world better.

Sunlight Data and Strategy. Do good. Do the data.
