Data management and creative engagement strategies that strengthen decision-making, relationships, and competitiveness for resources

The Power in Numbers initiative combines data, technology, organizing, communication, and creativity to help people advocate for the future they envision. Research shows that social sector leaders who prioritize data have stronger operations and make an even greater impact. New Sun Rising supports people to explore and manage data through the Vibrancy Portal, amplify underheard Community Voices, transform information into action through Creative Advocacy, and strengthen movements by Building Collaborations.

ABOUT

The initial Power in Numbers data storytelling cohort received technical assistance services from New Sun Rising to collect and analyze their data using the Vibrancy Portal and create Data Story Reports with TrailBlaze Creative.  This pilot was made possible through the support The Pittsburgh Foundation. Additional organizations include those in the Nonprofit Resilience Program funded by Staunton Farm Foundation who identified data and communications among their primary needs. In 2022, we completed a full redesign and data set update to the Vibrancy Portal to better meet the needs of social sector organizations and collaborative movements. We are also developing the Creative Advocacy Playbook, mobilizing wider participation and resources to make progress on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Are you a nonprofit, social enterprise, or collaborative who would benefit from enhanced data utilization and/or creative advocacy? Email us at info@newsunrising.org for a Vibrancy Portal and/or Creative Advocacy demo to learn more. We welcome inquiries from funding partners to help us democratize data, technology, and creative disruption to help marginalized people advocate for change by growing the Power in Numbers initiative.
