Join @TechSoup, and @plus_socialgood for the July #NPTechChat Twitter chat on financing for development: what it means for local communities. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals highlight the importance of financing for development. In fact, the recent Financing for Development summit was focused directly on this.

Join @TechSoup, @Datakind and @plus_socialgood for the June #NPTechChat chat on how data is fueling social change. A TechSoup Global project, #NPTechChat is a new monthly Twitter-chat series for social change activists that’s focused on reducing barriers and increasing impact using technology around the globe. Thanks to our marketing sponsor, +Social Good.

Data is a tremendously powerful resource with the potential to move the needle on tough humanitarian challenges. The same algorithms and techniques that help companies boost profits can help social change organizations increase their impact. However, many organizations aren’t taking full advantage. Go beyond using data for simple counting and reporting – use it to change the world!

Learn how data science can help your organization improve its decision-making and advance your mission. Come ready to ask questions and share how you’re using data to make an impact!

TechSoup Global and NetSquared are excited to announce the inaugural #NPTechChat. Join TechSoup Global, the UN Foundation and +SocialGood for the first #NPTechChat Twitter chat on how technology is increasing access to healthcare and improving community health.
