Visualize and share your data to inspire action.
We bring data to life for communities of all sizes to help you make strategic decisions.

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.”
