Last week, we held another one of our signature Impact Data Chats. It was a lively discussion with a diverse group of evaluators, foundations, nonprofits and impact investors interested in sharing strategies for using data to support fundraising and communicating project impact. 

In this participatory discussion a group of experts came ready to share experiences, best practices, questions, and explore areas of potential collaboration. As always, we follow-up from each chat with a list of the resources compiled from the examples shared during the call.

Check out the #resources shared during the chat below. Please feel free to suggest other resources and send us links — we will continue to build this resource list through your comments.
