Is data all Greek to you?  Are you having trouble understanding how to access and utilize data to make your case to receive grant funding?  This session is for you. Join us for this interactive session and help your organization better find and utilize publicly available data resources while learning about the value of “good data” in painting the picture of need to prospective funders.

  • IECC’s GIS and Data Management Associate Brian Thomas Romo,
  • Armando Mendoza from the US Census Bureau,
  • Julian Cuevas from the Inland Empire Community Foundation, and
  • Karla López del Río of the UCR Center for Social Innovation.

Learn how data is used on the regular, what the best free and open data resources out there are, and how to make use of that data to capture funding through data-driven grant proposals. Ensure your organization is maximizing its impact and join us for this interactive session to help your organization better find and utilize publicly available data resources.
