W(h)ine About Data
Introducing our podcast, W(h)ine About Data, designed to demystify data and offer professionals an outlet for practical learning in an informal environment! At TCG, we’re educators at heart, but we understand that making sense of troves of information may seem daunting and unrealistic for organizations in the trenches. This podcast is free and a small time commitment – making it great for busy individuals who want to grow their data muscle.
We try to make sport of it all on podcast – where we talk about our two favorite topics, data and wine – and break down even the most daunting data topics into manageable chunks, making them easily digestible and applicable to your everyday work. We’re ready to tackle the topics we know many nonprofit professionals are “whining” about.
We believe knowledge should be accessible to all, regardless of background or expertise. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious novice, our series welcomes you with open arms, friendly voices, and a glass of wine.

Episode 13 – Best Practices for Collecting Feedback
Our Data Manager, Sara Gropp, brings her data lens to the conversation as we discuss best practices for collecting feedback. Episode 13 – Best Practices for Collecting Feedback
Thank you for making a presentation about data that was approachable! I’ve participated in several workshops on data and measuring impact that were so theoretical that it’s a struggle to identify any practical takeaways. I appreciated your breakdown of data myths and trust and the reminder that the ultimate goal is to turn data into usable information and information into insight.
