About Blueprint
Blueprint is a nonprofit that helps government, community, and industry leaders use data and evidence to improve public systems and strengthen outcomes for people across Canada.

About Purpose Analytics
Purpose Analytics is a non-profit consultancy providing data services to the public benefit sector. We help organizations to better organize and utilize their data so that they can be more effective in their work and in communicating impact. Our services fulfill a range of needs including support with data analysis and visualization, selecting and implementing data management tools, and developing multi-faceted data strategies. Many of our projects employ automations that free up staff time and improve the consistency and reliability of data.
In addition to our consulting work, we support the non-profit sector to develop its data capacity more broadly.
This includes partnering with other service providers to offer events like this; convening the Non-profit Data Network which runs monthly meet ups throughout the year; and releasing free tools like CensusAggregator which makes it easier for non-profits to tabulate census data for their communities. By engaging our services, Purpose Analytics customers help to fund these public benefit initiatives..
This event would not be possible without the generous support of the Future Skills Centre
