The

We are well on the way to meeting our goal! We'll be in touch with updates soon. In the meantime, thanks so much to our members and partners who helped us raise our first $10,000 and more.
Again, thank you!

Learning for Action
released an online
Resource Library
that compiles publications, frameworks, toolkits, and guides - some developed by LFA and others drawn from peers in the field. LFA shares these resources to support collective learning in the field, and plans to add new resources as their learning and practice evolve.

Start the new year with intentional data collection. Trying to deal with data is overwhelming, but when you learn from those who have tackled it before you, data collection becomes a little less daunting.
Whether you're just beginning or considering how to enhance your data collection efforts, learning how others are doing it can be key to setting your own strategy. Become an Intentional Data Collector: An actionable guide for funders -
published by Foundant Technologies and developed in partnership with NNCG member Sharmila Rao Thakkar, was created using real experiences and lessons learned from the field.
It is intended to be used at any stage of your data collection efforts. So, choose your own adventure! We wish you luck on your journey to intentional data collection.
