RAISE Tech builds the intelligence dashboard that puts your sector, your funders, your gaps, and your risks in one place, with the most current publicly available data and an honest accounting of what is opaque.
Reach out about a dashboardEvery dashboard is built by someone with twenty years inside the systems being mapped. That is not background. It is what makes the analysis different from what a data firm produces. The research starts with knowing which organizations matter, which data sources lie, and which gaps in the public record are not accidents.
36% of organizations reported difficulty using data for decision-making in 2025, up from 14% the year before.
CCS Philanthropy Pulse, 2026
Funders and city governments are moving toward scoring social service contracts on impact and return on investment, not just outputs. Austin formalized this in early 2026. Other cities are not far behind. The question funders are increasingly asking is not just what did you do; it is what did it cost, what did it prevent, and what would happen without you.
A dashboard answers those questions. Not with estimates. With documented, sourced figures drawn from the same public records funders trust.
If you run a multi-program nonprofit, you can probably tell a funder how each program performed last quarter. You have the numbers, the stories, the outcomes. What you cannot show them yet is how your programs work together as a system. An internal organizational dashboard puts in one place:
You walk into your next board meeting with a picture of the whole organization, not five separate program reports.
If you are making investment decisions about a sector, you know the organizations you fund. You have their reports. You trust their leadership. What you cannot see clearly is the sector around them, the patterns across it, and where the system itself is breaking down. An ecosystem intelligence dashboard maps the whole field from verified public records: IRS 990 filings, federal single audits, HUD awards, federal grant data, official council records, and credible news verification:
You walk into your next investment conversation with a picture of the whole ecosystem, not just the organizations already on your desk.
If you are trying to coordinate services across a region, you know the providers. You have lists. You have maps of where the offices sit. What you cannot see clearly is the relationship between where services exist and where the people who need them actually live. A geographic gap mapping dashboard puts in one place:
You walk into your next planning conversation with a map of access, not anecdote.
An ecosystem dashboard built this way has surfaced patterns like these in our work:
Every finding is documented to specific public records. The specific organizations and amounts are available to clients who commission the work.
A dashboard has been built covering 59 researched organizations across Austin’s homeless services ecosystem, sourced entirely from verified public records.
Where the data shows patterns the funder conversation has not been having, the dashboard names them.
Every finding in this dashboard is documented to a specific public record. Where the public record is incomplete, that is documented too.

Most data projects give you a snapshot. A dashboard shows you the shape of things. How your programs carry weight across each other. Where funding concentrates across a whole sector. Where services reach people and where they do not. Those patterns hold over years, which is what makes them worth building on.
The dashboard is also built to stay current, not just capture a moment in time. Live input tabs let you update intelligence as it arrives: leadership changes, new grant awards, funding alerts. The annual refresh of the underlying financial and funder data is a separate ongoing engagement that keeps the picture accurate as new public filings become available.
Decisions usually follow the best told story. A dashboard changes what gets seen. It surfaces what the record shows rather than who had the development staff to put it in front of you. That is a different basis for a decision, and a fairer one.
Many nonprofits can and should budget a dashboard as an indirect cost. Funders who commission ecosystem dashboards on behalf of grantee portfolios can often fund this as a program-related expense. A dashboard is infrastructure that supports every program, every grant report, every board conversation, every funder relationship.

Scoped to sector complexity and number of organizations in scope.
Scoped to geographic area and data sources required.
Funder-commissioned engagements, covering a full grantee portfolio, start at $50,000.
Funder-commissioned engagements are scoped separately. Annual refresh is a separate ongoing engagement priced at time of build.
We start with a conversation. You tell us what you need to know and who you need to know it for. We tell you which dashboard fits, what it costs, and whether this is the right time for it.

Ecosystem and geographic dashboards are built from public records: IRS 990 filings, federal single audits, grant databases, official government records, census data, and published news. Internal organizational dashboards are built primarily from your own program and financial data, with public records filling in the context around you.
Every finding is documented to its source. Where the public record is incomplete, that is documented too rather than filled in with an estimate.
Findings reflect the record as of the date the dashboard is built. Where a dashboard describes organizations other than the one commissioning it, ratings describe funding exposure rather than organizational health or management quality, and are not financial advice, a credit assessment, or a judgment about viability.
Decisions about funding, partnership, and strategy remain with you. A dashboard exists to make those decisions better informed.
