DataKind Partnership
DataKind matches mission-driven organisations with volunteer data scientists to scope and build data and AI projects. The resource is analytic capacity and volunteer labour rather than a cash award.
- Indicative award
- Not a cash award (not a cash award)No money changes hands in either direction as described on the page. The partner page does not state whether the engagement is free, subsidised or fee-based, so cost should be confirmed directly with DataKind.
- Timing
- Rolling / openNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Interest is submitted through a standing partner form with no published deadline or cycle. Prospective partners are pointed first to the Nonprofit Data 101 webinar series and partner case studies.
- Who can apply
- Community organisation, Practitioner
- Eligibility
- Open to mission-driven social impact organisations with a clear theory of change, demonstrable real-world impact, leadership committed to data-driven decisions, and either existing data or a need for help sourcing it. A university is not the intended applicant; a social work researcher's route is as the data or evaluation partner to a selected organisation. DataKind states it cannot respond to every partner application.
