Data Science for Not-for-Profits

A gentle introduction for organisations interested in becoming more data-driven

Our on-demand tutorials are based on a successful in-person series attended by over 100 not-for-profit organisations of all sizes.

Social sector professionals can now develop their understanding of data science from wherever they are, at their own pace (with optional video sessions with the facilitator for support and assistance).

"The tutorial provided a framework for how I can determine our capacity for data science! Diving straight into data analysis is how a lot of us have ended up in our current situation of not making the best use of our data … this was valuable to take a step back and reassess." – Tutorial participant

The tutorials complement our two freely available publications:

Get started

Each free tutorial contains two hours of material, a combination of short lecture-style videos, quiz questions and resources.

They are designed to be taken in sequence, but are self-contained if you just want to learn about a specific topic. Upon enrolling in any of the courses, you can talk to one of our data scientists by email or video consultation for any course-related questions and, once you've completed all the tutorials, to discuss your next steps.
