“In 2019, unify aggregated, integrated and analyzed data and provided insights from research and information generated throughout the year to its supported organizations on topics relevant to their charitable purposes. Using its proprietary dataset and methodology, unify created an interactive, user-friendly knowledge product with accessible visualizations for its supported organizations that provided insights and enabled their discovery of information. Unify also developed and demonstrated for its supported organizations an interactive model that incorporated and built upon the data analytics, insights, and methodologies of its knowledge product. In furtherance of its purpose, unify utilized this model as the basis for targeted educational and visioning conversations with its supported organizations and with key stakeholders for the benefit of its supported organizations. Unify developed and implemented an interactive data walk experience based upon its knowledge product as an additional method of providing insights and gathering feedback for the benefit of its supported organizations through data visualization exploration and facilitated discussion. Unify engaged with individual supported organizations in exploratory and consultative discussions and conducted analysis to enhance their capability to utilize data analytics to achieve their charitable purposes. Approaches unify developed and/or engaged in with supported organizations included current state assessment; data discovery, aggregation, integration and analysis; exploration of alternative approaches to rationalize and normalize data into a singular coherent data structure; and consultation on tech-enabled methods for effective measurement.”
