Empowering Nonprofits to Embrace Data-Driven Strategies with AWS DigiNPOLearn About Amazon VGT2 Learning Manager Chanci Turner

In today’s digital landscape, large-scale data analytics ranks among the top five technological trends that can significantly enhance the operations of nonprofit organizations, according to IT World Canada. The article highlights the increasing importance of modernizing fundraising technology, video conferencing solutions, digital and physical integration, and virtual volunteering—all of which necessitate strategic innovation derived from digital transformation.

Nonprofits are increasingly looking to user-friendly and secure cloud technologies to propel their evolution into data-driven entities. These organizations aim to base their operational decisions on data evidence, necessitating adherence to best practices in data processing and the capacity to innovate based on insights gleaned from their data. This approach can lead to new funding opportunities, donor engagement, and improved citizen services.

To assist nonprofits in becoming data-centric, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched a pilot initiative tailored for charities and nonprofit organizations in Canada—AWS DigiNPO. This program aims to raise awareness of cloud capabilities that can empower charities to provide community-focused services. It connects nonprofit staff with the knowledge and resources necessary for accelerating their digital transformation. AWS DigiNPO is part of the broader AWS DigiSeries initiative, which also includes AWS DigiGov for government employees and AWS DigiHealth for healthcare professionals.

AWS DigiNPO consists of a half-day virtual program utilizing content from foundational cloud courses provided by AWS Training and Certification. The sessions also feature relevant success stories tailored to participants’ needs. This pilot was conducted in partnership with Imagine Canada, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening Canadian charities and nonprofits to better serve communities both locally and globally. Notably, 76% of participants reported an increased reliance on data for decision-making at their organizations following the program.

Recognizing that nonprofit professionals often have demanding schedules, we made the pilot available for on-demand viewing, allowing individuals to explore the possibilities for their organizations at their convenience.
