Do you know where your data is? Does it live in multiple locations? And do you have difficulty updating and using your data effectively? 

Data is a critical component for strategic decision-making for mission-driven organizations. However, many teams are forced to rely on outdated approaches — such as spreadsheets, shared drives, and internal databases of varying sophistication — to derive meaningful insights that will guide their strategies forward.

Forum One works with nonprofits, foundations, associations, and government agencies to aggregate, manage, model, and make their data available across every department and team. Our data management services help modernize intake and storage capabilities, normalize and clean up existing data, and get it in a format that enables organizations to use it in a meaningful way. 

Forum One works with mission-driven brands such as NRDC, SEIU-UHW & Joint Employer Education Fund, and World Bank GEF to ensure that data plays a central role in the way they create change and support their members and supporters.
