The Gift of Data

Watch this video about the Top 5 Reasons to Use Kidsdata.org

This holiday season, we want to honor the many organizations and individuals statewide who work on behalf of the 10,000,000 children in California. So in the spirit of giving, we note below the many ways in which Kidsdata – a public service from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health – can help policymakers, researchers, advocates, nonprofits, and others who are committed to advancing and elevating the status of child health in California.

Kidsdata.org can be an invaluable resource for grant writing, program planning, community assessments, communications and advocacy work, policymaking, and many other initiatives.

Earlier this year, we blogged about the Top 5 Reasons to Use Kidsdata.org. In case you missed them, here they are again.

Kidsdata.org helps you…

1. Use resources more efficiently by bringing together more than 35 trusted public data sources into one, free public service.
2. Find and compare local data — for every city, county, and school district in California.
3. Customize data for regions or demographic groups, and find the data display (map, bar graph, table, etc.) that works best for you.
4. Share data instantly via social media, e-mail, or by downloading into Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
5. Stay up-to-date on new data for the children you serve via customized e-mail alerts, Kidsdata Advisory newsletters, Facebook and Twitter.
