I'm excited to be back in Chicago today for another GivingData Lunch, Learn, and Connect event at Impact House. I’ll be joining Richard Carder, Director of Data Strategies and Insights at The Richard L. Duchossois Foundation, for a deep dive into how grantmakers can work with data - starting with strong foundations and moving toward AI-driven insights. From strategic data collection to leveraging AI for narrative analysis, we'll explore how philanthropy can move beyond organizing information to using data to make change. I'm looking forward to an engaging conversation with Rich and the amazing funders in the room. If you're attending, let’s connect! And if you’re curious about the discussion, I’d love to hear your thoughts—how is your foundation using data to drive strategy? Thank you to Woods Fund Chicago for co-hosting the event with us! #Philanthropy #DataForGood #AIinPhilanthropy #Grantmaking
