Arizona’s nonprofit sector lacked a centralized platform for assessing the sector’s scope, operational efficiency, and social impact. I led the Arizona Nonprofits Scope of Sector project at Arizona State University’s Lodestar Center for 8 months, where I developed comprehensive Tableau dashboards from scratch using the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining cycle.
The platform increased data transparency by 50%, improved resource allocation by 20%, and provided nonprofits with the tools to better serve underrepresented communities. The project provided key insights into how the nonprofit sector drives the Arizona economy and how these organizations, often serving underrepresented communities, contribute to social good.

Data Governance: Designed and managed a robust data governance framework to ensure data accuracy, security, and transparency. This included managing data sources from Arizona’s 28,000+ nonprofit organizations, ensuring data integrity across public charities, private foundations, and other nonprofit types.

Tableau Dashboard Development: Developed interactive, user-friendly data visualizations and dashboards using Tableau and SQL that enabled stakeholders to explore nonprofit employment, wages, economic contribution, and sector growth. These visualizations provided clear insights into nonprofit funding gaps, resource allocation, and the sector's overall economic contribution for non-technical users, such as nonprofit executives and community leaders.

Economic and Social Impact Research: Conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses of nonprofit data to evaluate the sector’s economic contribution and workforce trends. Analyzed key metrics such as revenue breakdowns by subsector, employment rates, wage comparisons, and geographic distributions of nonprofit impact.

Data Complexity and Diversity: The Arizona nonprofit sector, with over 28,000 registered organizations, lacked a centralized platform. Integrating data from more than 28,000 nonprofit organizations posed a significant challenge due to the diversity in reporting standards and the variance in data availability across different nonprofit subsectors.
Stakeholder Engagement: Ensuring buy-in from nonprofit leaders, funders, and policymakers required presenting complex data in an accessible and actionable format, especially for non-technical users who needed to leverage the platform for decision-making.
Limited Resources for Data Collection: Many smaller nonprofits lacked the infrastructure to provide comprehensive data, leading to gaps that required additional qualitative research and proxy data methods to ensure completeness.
