This campaign meant to highlight the pressing issues affecting children and youth while centering their needs and experiences. Check out our impact HERE.
nfpResearch: Data Driven Insights
At our recent NACY monthly May member connect, we were joined by Cian and Eva from nfpResearch, who shared valuable insights from public polling designed to help charities make data-informed decisions.
The session offered a deep dive into public attitudes toward the charitable sector, engagement levels, and the importance of building a trusted, recognizable brand. We also explored public sentiment on issues directly impacting the children and youth sector insights that are both timely and urgent. Check full report HERE.
