Data Health Workshop

8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Tuesday, October 20, 2026

Every campaign, every donation, every supporter journey, every strategic decision, and every AI initiative starts with one thing: the quality of your data. If data is the engine that powers modern nonprofits, data health is the fuel.

As charities invest in fundraising growth, digital transformation, supporter engagement and AI, data quality has become a critical success factor. When data is incomplete, inconsistent or unreliable, it limits personalisation, reporting, automation and decision-making. When data is healthy, teams can move faster, work smarter and deliver better outcomes.

In this workshop, we’ll explore why data health has become a strategic priority and how strong data foundations drive better fundraising performance, supporter experiences and organisational confidence. Drawing from examples from across the sector, we’ll look at practical ways organisations are improving data quality, governance and trust, and why the teams responsible for data are becoming some of the most important enablers of future success.

Because when your data is healthy, everything works better.
