HAWAII DATA COLLABORATIVE

Hawai‘i Data Collaborative (HDC) is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds data infrastructure, tools, and partnerships to make timely, local data useful to decision-makers across government, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector. HDC’s work emphasizes accessibility and collaboration: the organization creates shared data resources (including a Hawai‘i-specific PolicyMap instance and public dashboards), supports partner organizations’ data capacity, and produces research and context to inform policies and programs that address household needs. In the past 2–3 years HDC has expanded its public-facing tools and partnerships (including work on statewide data governance, enhancements to Aloha United Way’s 211 reporting, and project work with early-childhood partners), grown program staff, and increased its operating scale to support statewide data use and coordination.
