A small Montreal charity was able to help 10,000 refugees and newcomers in 2023 thanks to a series of forms and data flows they designed to crunch the information more effectively.ย
โThere was a bunch of data that was interesting: where people were coming from; when they arrived; the makeup of a family and pregnancies,โ said Rani Cruz, director of development and impact for Welcome Collective.ย
Welcome Collective / Collectif Bienvenue started when a group of friends came together as volunteers and has since grown into a staff of 16 people and a volunteer workforce.ย
