How can Power BI emPOWER nonprofit goals?
Spend more time on you mission
It’s not a secret that reporting can be time consuming and frustrating, especially if it is done manually.
Manual reports can hurt your organisation as you really don’t want to spend a week in front of Excel making monthly reports. That's time better spent elsewhere.
But with Power BI - once the reporting is automated, you will save bucketloads of time. Monthly reporting may only take a day – how great is that!? Now you have four days to go into the field and make a difference because you’re not spending your whole week trying to navigate a painful, manual process. Power BI enables you to focus much more on your nonprofit and your day-to-day operations, community outreach, programme development, and donor engagement.
Prove your impact
Data serves as the indisputable proof of your nonprofit's impact and effectiveness. Power BI will enable you to demonstrate programme success to external stakeholders through internal research, showcasing participation rates, demographic distributions, and programme outcomes. By using this relational data, you can uncover valuable insights to improve your strategies for greater impact and efficiency.
Additionally, the ability to track performance and showcase results to stakeholders, funders, and grants is crucial for securing continued support and funding.
For example, a nonprofit providing health information through an accessible website can use Power BI to track website performance, providing funders with assurance that their investment is yielding tangible results. Or a sports organisation could use Power BI insights to prove increased participation and effectiveness of their programme.
These are just a few examples that just highlight that your data acts as the evidence of your organisation's value. Data is the key to demonstrating the impact you have on your community, which will create a great case for support, and compel stakeholders and donors to continue supporting your cause.
