CHICAGO, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Civis Analytics, a data science firm that empowers private and public sector organizations to better understand and engage the people that matter, announced today that it is among the first organizations to achieve Amazon Web Services (AWS) Nonprofit Competency status. This designation recognizes that Civis provides proven technology and deep expertise to help nonprofit customers with end-to-end solutions for fundraising, donor management, volunteer engagement, and program management so customers can quickly, cost-efficiently, and securely leverage technology to scale mission impact and drive social change.

Achieving the AWS Nonprofit Competency differentiates Civis as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success with donor management and marketing technology, as well as consulting services. To receive the designation, APN Partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.

"Civis helps nonprofits understand and engage their audiences using data, which ultimately informs better resource allocation decisions," said Christine Campigotto, Director of Applied Data Science and Civis Analytics' Non-Profit Lead. "That's work we're really proud of – the more efficient nonprofits can be, the more good they can do in the world." 

Civis specializes in building and utilizing data science methodologies and software to understand and engage people across the population. Using Civis Platform, nonprofits like the United Nations Human Rights Council, Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the American Red Cross have executed wide-scale public opinion research projects, optimized advertising campaigns, and created reporting systems for business leaders to best understand and utilize their person-level data assets.

"Traditionally, nonprofits use the Field of Dreams approach: if you build it they will come," said Steven Lee, Managing Director, Robin Hood Foundation. "With Civis, we could take a more targeted Moneyball-type approach, and turned to data to efficiently reach the right people."

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises.
