Continuing our discussions on Why IT Matters: Creating the New Norms with Kate Ruff about how nonprofits are best supported with data structures, standards, and models, we push into new territory with Chantal Forster, Executive Director of the Technology Association of Grantmakers on how nonprofits can be better served by the philanthropic world, including with how philanthropy collects and digests data. We talk about creating new philanthropic culture, how businesses, data platforms, and academics serving nonprofits need greater participation in the discussion of data standards, and the need for critical technology infrastructure funding and support for the nonprofit ecosystem, at large.
