Raise a Child • 2024
Nonprofit Data Visualization Dashboard

Background

Raise a Child is a national nonprofit organization committed to serving the needs of children in foster care. The nonprofit has significantly grown over the past 12 years, increasing the number of foster events and parents/foster children supported, which has drastically increased the complexity of managing these events. The current system relies on spreadsheets which are difficult to manually keep up to date,

Project Overview

Our team's goal was to create a data visualization dashboard that would serve as a hub for managing all foster events and constituents. The dashboard would allow for easy, efficient communication between admins and stakeholders, saving time on both ends and enabling more efficient management of foster events.
