20 Apr President and CEO, Corrin Harper, will be speaking at the next Data for Good meetup in Regina on April 24

Corrin will be presenting a recent study by Insightrix that profiled the non-profit sector in Saskatchewan on behalf of the Saskatchewan Nonprofit Partnership – the first ever of its kind.

The study that will be discussed provided a richly detailed profile of the non-profit sector, identified top challenges in the sector and examined finance and grant application efforts while providing an idea of the differences (and similarities) of the research requirements that exist in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.

The presentation will be held at 6:00 PM at the University of Regina – Administration Humanities Bldg, in the AH 527 Boardroom. For more information, check out the Data for Good Regina website.
