  • A team that's confident to keep using what we build.

What We Donate

Our team gives its time and expertise through pro bono engagements in four areas.

Data engineering

We build and tidy up the data foundations: pipelines, databases and data quality checks, so information is reliable and in one place.

Data analytics

We analyse your data to find trends and patterns, and turn them into findings your team and board can act on.

Business intelligence

We set up dashboards, KPIs and metrics so you can see how programs and operations are performing at a glance.

Data visualisation

We turn your data into clear visuals and stories that help you report impact to funders, supporters and the community.

Who Can Apply

The program is open to organisations that are making a difference locally and want to use data to do even more.

  • An Australian not-for-profit organisation or charity.
  • A clear data challenge linked to your mission.
  • Access to the data involved, such as spreadsheets, databases or systems.
  • A few people in your team who can work with us during the project.

Impact

Foundations

Data clean-up and consolidation
