GivingTuesday Data Sampler: Pre-conference Data Access Salon

Session Submission Type: Professional Development Workshop

Abstract

The GivingTuesday Data Commons works with partners across sectors and borders to understand the drivers and impacts of all types of generosity, analyze the effects of networks and collective action, explore giving behaviors and patterns, and use data to inspire more giving around the world. Our partnerships with data providers and commissioned research activities have resulted in the generation of several robust useful databases for researchers and data scientists to explore and use for their projects.
Working in collaboration with data providers, researchers, and other sector partners, the Data Commons provides to the social sector what the commercial sector has long benefitted from: big data to drive better decision-making, build a more resilient social sector, and accelerate equitable social innovation. These partnerships have led to the generation of several robust databases for researchers to explore and use for their projects.
GivingTuesday Data Commons actively invites researchers and data scientists to this Salon to learn how to access and benefit from the various global databases and available products we offer. Your engagement with our databases will also to further strengthen the insights these data offer to social good organizations and the sector at large.
Session attendees will have a hands-on opportunity to explore multiple databases and research tools as well as request detailed information and propose new tools that they would like made available to the sector. They will also have the chance to tap into GivingTuesday’s global network of social sector leaders to identify new possibilities for research partnerships.
In keeping with the manifest of the Data Commons, access to all products and datasets is free.
