Making Data Actionable: Words from Our Web Manager

In a world increasingly full of clunky, confusing data sites, kidsdata.org is the go-to destination for finding data on children’s health and well-being in California and putting it to use in your work.

Kidsdata.org recently caught the attention of the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) as it compiled the Data-Informed Nonprofits issue of its newsletter. Stacy Clinton, web manager at the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, which operates kidsdata, was asked to contribute a guest article.

Check out Stacy’s post, Accessible, Portable, and Actionable Data, for her perspective on kidsdata’s many useful features and what differentiates kidsdata from other data sites.

NTEN aims to help nonprofits use technology more effectively, a goal that resonates with us. The technology is evolving, but the need for kidsdata still exists. We’re here to help nonprofit organizations and public agencies spend less time hunting down data sets and creating their own graphs, and more time completing a grant proposal or advocating for change.

Don’t forget to let us know how you’ve put data to work for California kids for a chance to be featured on our Data in Action page.

PS – check out the Nonprofit Technology Network for additional expert articles, trainings, and updates on the latest in nonprofit tech.
