Data offers a powerful way to understand communities and regions. Our experienced team can help you gather, analyze, and visualize data to make informed decisions about:

  • Refining or planning new strategies
  • Giving more effectively
  • Planning for an uncertain future
  • Understanding change over time

We build dashboards and synthesize data to present national, regional, and local information in ways that are both easy to understand and easy to access.

“

The North Flint Community Dashboard has been an instrumental resource as we advance our place-based grantmaking strategy. Throughout the partnership, the Johnson Center has demonstrated expertise and responsiveness to our needs as a learning organization and community-driven foundation. The dashboard has proven to be convenient and easy to navigate, providing our organization, grantees, and other community members with a tool for data-driven decision making and context for fundraising and other development efforts.”
