Data & Research
Tools that make public data useful.
These resources grow out of the same investigation that informs my consulting work: understanding how organizations actually function, not how they say they function. The nonprofit sector runs on reported numbers that rarely tell the whole story. I built tools to help surface a more accurate picture.
IRS Form 990 is the public record every nonprofit files annually — and most people never read it. The Nonprofit Intelligence tool turns those filings into a working research environment: benchmark executive and staff compensation by role, state, or sector; analyze foundation giving patterns, payout rates, and funder alignment; identify peer organizations and map the competitive landscape; generate financial health scorecards and prospect lists for development work. The underlying data covers hundreds of thousands of compensation records and foundation grants across all 50 states. Whether you're a board setting executive pay, a development director researching funders, or a consultant trying to understand how an organization sits within its sector, the answers are already in the public record — this makes them findable.
How This Connects to the Consulting Work
The data tools aren't a separate project — they're an extension of the same inquiry. When I work with a leadership team on strategy or culture, I bring the same analytical orientation: what do the numbers actually tell us, what patterns are hiding in plain sight, and what questions does the data open up rather than close down?
