Improve your advancement data quality by setting up a dedicated data governance committee.

Overview

Most advancement shops struggle with data governance, especially when it comes to data that is:

  • duplicated across multiple fields or shadow databases
  • erroneously put into one field versus another
  • inputted in open text fields instead of predefined dropdowns

These data challenges often affect the integrity of critical alumni and donor information that the entire operation depends on. You can significantly improve the quality of your data and solve problems across your shop by establishing a committee that is representative of all departments within advancement.
