Welcome to the Nonprofits Group! Introduce yourself here

Name: Rian
Organization/Role: Founder of Impacto Bolivia / Data & Technology professional
Location: Barcelona, Spain

I’m part of a nonprofit called Impacto Bolivia, where we use data and technology to support social impact projects in areas like healthcare, education, and the environment.

I’m not using Airtable yet in my projects, but I can already see how helpful it could be for quick no-code setups like organizing projects, managing volunteers, tracking partnerships, and building simple internal tools without heavy development.

Yesssssssss

I’ve been wanting a non-profit group that isn’t focused on Edu institutions forever! 

Airtable has so many applications for budget constrained non-profits (plus that sweet non-profit pricing discount). I came Airtable as a Museum Educator trying to automate and streamline my work so I could do more (run a docent program, and book field trips, and book summer camps, and lead field trips/summer camps, and plan workshops, and plan public events, and design interactives, and...)

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work: Airtable is the database backend for a community directory of social services available for local folks. I’ve also built out a calendar implementation with an AT backend as well as an interpretation ticket/time logging system for our on-call interprets to use.

Name: Emmely 
Organization/Role: Digital Solution Consultant at Moonland
Location: Belgium

I help NGOs design and implement Airtable setups that match how their operations actually run. This can include PIMS systems, but also more tailored solutions depending on the organization’s structure and needs.

Curious to learn how others are using Airtable within their nonprofit and what challenges you’re running into.

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work:

Like my colleague Emmely, I’m helping nonprofits to digitalise their data in Airtable.

This helps NGOs to create a better internal structure with less time lost to scattered spreadsheets and more room to focus on their mission.

I’m interesting to see how other NGOs in this community are using Airtable.

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work: We help a lot of clients use and adopt Airtable. We’ve helped a lot of local/regional nonprofits as well as large global nonpofits like the Gates Foundation.

Curious to see this group come to life and hear about how organizations are using Airtable in creative ways and adopting AI!

So excited that this group exists!

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work? Exhibition planning and management (timelines, budgets, content, etc), artifact swaps planning, resource management (staffing and supplies), traveling exhibition communication tracking, and I’ve most recently been working on a contractor database for regional museums. 

Looking forward to hearing how y’all have been using Airtable!

Hooray! Glad to be a part of a group like this!

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work?: Exhibition planning and management, interdepartmental scheduling,  collections-related project management, and resource management (staffing).

​@Chris_Moore it sounds like we have very similar uses for Airtable!

Oooooh, ​@Eric Heck, it does! I’d love to hear more about how you’ve been setting things up! Is all of Walker Art Center on Airtable or is it more of a departmental tool? If you say the full org, I’m going to be highly jealous. 😂

​@Chris_Moore It’s largely a departmental tool at this point at present. One day maybe we’ll all be on Airtable...🤞

​@Eric Heck I feel you on this. Then again, I’m sure our Marketing department has a similar feeling about Wrike. Wishing you better luck with your org!

Hi All - glad to be here.

How are you currently using Airtable in your nonprofit work? We use it as a tool to manage our grants, including reporting and tracking hours, expense reimbursement submissions, and managing grant documents, details, and invoicing.

PS I did not design our base - my ED did, and he has been in AT for a decade. I am a new user!
