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

Thank you to our DSC Founding Supporters!

We are grateful to the individuals whose generosity will help us serve more data storytellers in the coming months.

DSC-Chicago’s fall 2025 meeting.

The Data Storytelling Collective (DSC) is a grassroots movement 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.
