A Special Presentation: Insights after Four Cohorts of the United Way Data Capacity Building Initiative

The Data Capacity Building Initiative (DCBI) brings together community-based organizations to build stronger, data-informed practices using the Community Vulnerability Compass (CVC). This presentation is an opportunity to hear directly from DCBI cohort members about how they’ve begun leveraging CVC data to better understand and serve their communities, and how the initiative has strengthened their organization along the way.

Guests will hear firsthand accounts of the challenges these organizations set out to address, the data-driven strategies they’ve adopted, and the early impact this work is already having on the families and neighborhoods they serve.

Join United Way of Metropolitan Dallas as we explore the impact of the Data Capacity Building Initiative (DCBI)
