Strong Funding Support The Connecticut Data Collaborative has recently secured a substantial two-year grant of $260,000 from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, demonstrating strong financial backing and a commitment to data-driven decision-making, which creates opportunities for partnerships and funded projects.

Growing Leadership Recent hires of key personnel such as a Director of Data Strategic Planning, a GIS and Data Analyst, and a Data Engagement Specialist indicate organizational growth and a focus on expanding technical and strategic capabilities, suggesting a need for advanced data tools and training solutions.

Expanding Data Initiatives Launch of strategic planning services and collaborations, including partnerships with housing organizations, point to an increasing demand for data visualization, storytelling, and capacity-building services that support public sector and nonprofit initiatives.

Community Engagement Focus Active facilitation of community practice groups, conferences, and workshops highlights an ongoing need for collaboration platforms and engagement tools that enable effective knowledge sharing and capacity building within the nonprofit and government sectors.
