Non-profits should collect the data they are going to use later on in their day-to-day operations, and that can be different for each specific organization. If an organization isn’t sure what data to collect, one way to address this would be doing a data audit. Nevertheless, here are some common data types that non-profits can consider for collection and analysis:
Donor or grantee profiles
Contribution histories
Project or grant reports
Interviews with partners
Trip reports
