Nonprofits
Turn data into stories that inspire action
Datastory helps mission-driven teams turn data into interactive charts, maps and stories that can be published to your site and social channels. No data team, no design agency.
The opportunity
Create awareness, engagement and action through data storytelling
Nonprofits hold data that could change how people see an issue: species in decline, the effectiveness of different policies, inequality that's widening. But it usually stays locked in spreadsheets and PDFs. Datastory turns it into stories the public actually reads, shares and remembers.
Change minds with evidence
Statistics have the power to cut through uncertainty and cause people to genuinely reevaluate their opinions, especially when paired with effective storytelling.
Make complex issues clear
The human brain processes images much faster than raw text or data tables, helping people spot trends and comprehend information instantly.
Publish charts made for sharing
Good charts work just as well in a report as on their own, which matters when someone shares it on social media or a journalist embeds it in an article.
Let people explore the data
Interactive charts let readers filter by country, year, or category and look up the cases they care about. People spend longer with a chart they can explore than with a static image.
