Data Science and AI Group

This group brings together specialised data and AI professionals working in philanthropic foundations to connect with each other, share real-world experience, and bring back what they have learned to their foundations.

Data for good is about using analytics and data to help humanity. Applying data for social good can lead to new and creative ways to address global issues in a more targeted and efficient manner, rendering data for good essential for philanthropic organisations. The private sector long ago mastered the use of data to achieve its goals. Now, it is time for the social sector to do the same.

The efficient use of data can help the philanthropic sector target its actions, improve decision-making and ultimately effect positive change in a more effective manner. Furthermore, data and analytics can help philanthropic organisations better target their communications outreach and understand the platforms and audience segments they target. Information and insights can drive the philanthropic strategy and agenda, which in turn can create increased impact in targeted communities.
