Our mission is to connect and equip data storytellers • to strengthen how human service nonprofits use data • to maximize community impact.

DSC-Chicago’s fall 2025 meeting.

The Data Storytelling Collective (DSC) is a first-of-its-kind grassroots learning community developing local chapters of nonprofit data professionals.

The DSC’s first chapter, DSC-Chicago, meets in person every fall, winter, and spring to connect, share a meal, and find ways to collect and use nonprofit data more effectively. We also host virtual workshops, social gatherings, and an online community platform to network and learn together.

Have a question or want to get involved? We’d love to hear from you.
