Cultural Data Project Orientation Sessions in Central New York
The New York State Cultural Data Project (CDP) offers a powerful online management tool designed to strengthen arts and cultural organizations and gather reliable, longitudinal data on the arts and cultural sector. The CDP provides nonprofit arts and cultural organizations with the tools necessary to streamline financial reporting, quickly and easily track trends in their own performance and benchmark themselves against others.
Are you new to the CDP? Or would you like to learn more about the CDP's powerful reporting tools? The Cultural Data Project is pleased to announce our next round of orientations in Central New York. These orientations will save you time and help you make the most of your CDP data.
New User Orientation: Discover the basics of completing your Data Profile, and learn how to generate reports and apply to participating grantmakers. We highly recommend this session if you or your organization is new to the CDP, or if you need a refresher on entering your organization's data into the CDP Data Profile. Find more information and register at the link below.
Small Organizations Orientation: More than 50% of CDP users have budgets of less than $250,000. If your organization falls within that budget category, the CDP is offering a special orientation session specifically for you. Whether you are a small non-audited 501(c)3 organization, a collective or group that is fiscally sponsored, or an organization run by volunteers, this session will help you complete your Data Profiles as efficiently as possible and get the most out of the CDP. Find more information and register at the link below.
CDP Reports Orientation: Make your data work for you! Learn how to generate dozens of powerful trend and comparison reports that can yield new insights into your operations and finances, all with just a few clicks of the mouse. During this session participants will walk through several example scenarios for using these reports for financial management, planning, and evaluation- and all these reports are free of charge for CDP participants. (Please note that in order to run reports, you must have one Data Profile completed.) Find more information and register at the links below.
