With a mission of increasing opportunity and equity for those most in need, our client takes stewardship of its finances very seriously.

The philanthropic model our client follows is one that has been succeeding for decades. Essentially, it is to find programs and entrepreneurs who have already succeeded in solving a particular problem, and come alongside them to fund the expansion of that program to have a widespread impact.

The challenge then - becomes finding those programs and entrepreneurs to fund. Who is succeeding today? How can we measure achievement? What programs and business models do we feel have the greatest potential to scale?

To address this challenge, our client needed data - good data. As our client said: "We are going to be relentless about acquiring quality data and the need to focus on evidence-based decision making. And we will go where the evidence takes us." Client Director, Education 

So that's what we did. And as it was gathered, we pulled it all together - surfacing multiple types of data on a central location for review. The solution enables the collection, update and display of over 1,000 searchable data elements that will help program officers decide where hundreds of millions of dollars will be invested over the next several years. Kudos novel philanthropists, your stewardship inspires us.
