<H4 CLASS="MsoNormal">From fundraising to programs, from advocacy to evaluation, Tableau Foundation helps nonprofits make a bigger impact with their data. Thanks to the new <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://tracking.etapestry.com/t/31507277/1252086596/69941593/0/51089/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tableau for Non-profits</A> program, most small nonprofits qualify for free copies of Tableau Desktop.</H4>
All organizations – even small ones! – have a vast amount of data at their disposal. But this data doesn't have to be confusing or useless. It can help you make informed decisions on program development, fundraising campaigns, reporting, and strategic planning. Tableau helps nonprofits use their data to change communities.
This “Getting Started” session will introduce nonprofit staff and leadership to Tableau’s powerful, easy-to-use business intelligence software. Through the session, attendees will learn how to:
<UL>
<LI>Understand the importance of data visualization for evaluation and storytelling purposes</LI>
<LI>Connect to their organization's data on a PC, a server, in the cloud, or on the web</LI>
<LI>Build compelling visualizations, dashboards, and storypoints</LI>
<LI>Use quick filters to explore the intricacies of their data</LI>
<LI>Share their data both inside and outside their organization</LI>
</UL>
This is designed to be a beginner’s workshop, but if you’d like to get a head start on finding out why understanding data can be the key to building a stronger organization, check out Tableau's training videos at <A TITLE="Tableau Training" TARGET="_blank" HREF="https://www.tableau.com/learn/training" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">tableau.com/learn/training</A>.
