Data Tools for Everyone: Learning from Peers, Data Strategy and Practice Knowledge Exchange

DataKind and Data for Social Impact, an initiative of the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis, hosted a webinar series from September-December 2025 that provides a hands-on, guided tour through the process for utilizing a free open-access software called Ladder, created by DataKind in 2024. Ladder enables social sector organizations and practitioners to access preloaded public indicators, overlay their own hyperlocal data, and generate meaningful insights--regardless of where they are on their data journey. This four-part series walks through the process of conceptualizing a project utilizing the tool, from asset mapping to the formation of a programmatic/funding question where local data can be applied and analyzed using Ladder, to a hands-on exploration of the tool. The series culminates in a public roundtable where participants can provide feedback and share learnings in a supportive environment. 1. Moving from Problems to Assets 2. Leveraging Local Data for Community Impact 3. Data Deep Dive: Exploring Free Asset and Impact Mapping Tools 4. Learning from Peers: Data Strategy and Practice Knowledge Exchange. A conversation among regional and national practitioners on tool use, implications, and learnings. This event series was supported by the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
