Once upon a time, the title of the lead technology wizard didn’t necessarily begin with a C. The IT department didn’t always have a spot at the leadership table. They were regarded a little like sorcerers hanging out in the shadows creating marvels with tools that weren’t well understood by the rest of the office. If there were holdouts on giving IT a pivotal place in the organization, the pandemic shifted that perspective.

In grantmaking, one word makes more eyes glaze over than any other – data. Those who find it fun are called nerds. And for everyone else, it can bring up feelings of boredom, overwhelm, and confusion. In philanthropy, there can also be worries of time commitment, grantee burden, complicated methods and, frankly, resources circling the drain without adding any function or value.

Anyone who works in the nonprofit sector knows it’s not for the faint of heart. By necessity, the sector focuses on the negatives—the systems that are broken, the problems that need solving, the issues that are underfunded. And yet, this hyper-focus may be counterproductive. The burgeoning field of positive psychology suggests that humans have a default “negativity bias”—we disproportionately pay attention to and remember what goes wrong.
