Problems it solves

“We have lots of data but don't know what it is telling us”“We need help building a dashboard or prediction tool and can't pay a data scientist”“Can volunteers help us clean up and analyse our programme data”“I want to use AI on our case data but I don't know if it is safe”“We need a data strategy for our funders”

About DataKind+

DataKind is a global nonprofit that teams volunteer data scientists and AI experts with mission-driven organisations. Its work includes volunteer projects and DataDive events where volunteers help analyse data or build tools. It suits organisations that already have data and a clear question, and are ready to work with a technical team. The site did not state costs or the application process for nonprofits.

Pricing: DataKind describes its work as pro bono, with volunteer experts. The pages I could read did not state fees or terms for partner organisations, so confirm cost and scope with DataKind.
