HAMBURG, Germany – June 3, 2019- Sparrow Data Solutions is pleased to announce they will be in Hamburg, Germany participate in the 11th World Water Summit and the Water & Sanitation Rotarian Action Group at the Rotary international conference. As part of the week-long event, WASRAG’s World Water Summit takes place one day before the RI Convention. Sparrow Data’s Martha Rodgers will be participating on a panel about Special Project Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). Additionally, Sparrow Data will be exhibiting all week during the Rotary International Conference and can be found sharing a booth with our colleagues, Sawyer Products (sawyer.com). Attendees are encouraged to visit with Sparrow Data to learn more about increasing donor engagement, retention and acquisition with GIS.
Sparrow launched in 2018 in order to help non-profit organizations collect, process, and report their work to current and potential donors using specialized GIS tools. “We recognized the growing desire of many donors to not only see where their investments are being used but also, to visualize the outcomes of their work. “Unfortunately small NGO’s sometimes struggle to access the same funding that larger NGO’s receive in order to do the critical task of Monitoring and Evaluating their work to show Sustainability. To help out we decided to create a company that can provide them with the same tools as larger NGO’s without having to hire full-time specialists.” (Martha Rodgers, co-founder, Sparrow Data)
Sparrow’s experience and flexible approach allow them to build a plan that helps non-profits effectively collect field data, make informed decisions based on the real-time state of their projects, and tell the organization’s story to potential donors.
The Rotary international convention is colorful, diverse, and cosmopolitan. In keeping with the tagline “Capture the moment,” Rotary members attending the Hamburg convention will initiate projects, engage in exchange, and work together for a better world. The event is considered to be one of the most prestigious and international congresses worldwide and touches the hearts not only of the Rotary community but also that of the host city and its residents.
