Find the right data support
for where you are.

The Nonprofit Data Capacity Navigator is a free, bilingual service that matches Canadian nonprofits to practical data advice, assessments, and expert guidance, no matter where you are in your data journey.

Many nonprofits want to use data to learn, improve their programs, make decisions, and report on their work. But it can be hard to know where to start. There are many tools and services to choose from, staff often have limited time, and some advice may not fit the day-to-day realities of nonprofit work. In some cases, support is also tied to specific products or vendors, making it harder to find guidance that truly meets an organization's needs.

Developed by nonprofits, the Navigator helps you know where you are in your journey and matches you with tools and resources to take your next steps with confidence. The support offered is:

Free and accessible
There is no cost to participate, and no advanced data expertise is required. Organizations can start with a simple self-assessment and explore support at their own pace.
Practical and nonprofit-focused
Guidance is tailored to your organization's goals, capacity, and context. The focus is on realistic, achievable steps that help you make better use of your existing tools, processes, and systems.
Independent and technology-neutral
The Navigator does not promote specific software, platforms, or vendors. Its purpose is to help your organization make informed decisions about the solutions that best fit your needs.
Data Maturity Assessment
A practical tool to understand where your organization is in its data journey and what next steps make sense.
Free Advice from Experts
A coordinated entry point that matches your organization to free, tailored coaching from experienced data practitioners who understand nonprofit realities.
*Offered in both official languages
Data Journey Maps
A clear view of the path ahead, helping you sequence the right data steps and milestones for your organization.
