Current projects (automated financial dashboards, donor prospecting, lakehouse migration to Microsoft Fabric) and active pain points (integrating grants/finance systems, migrating legacy ETL, data governance) reveal an organization scaling its analytics infrastructure to support a donor base of nearly 50,000 and operational reach across 60+ countries.
