In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Virtuous co-hosts Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus chat with Christine Robertson, Consulting Manager at NPact, about what clean data really means for fundraisers—and why it matters more than you might think.
Christine brings years of donor database expertise to a topic that too often gets overlooked or siloed. From CRM strategy to daily habits, she shares how data can be a tool for empathy, not just administration—and how development teams can think more relationally about the information they collect.
Also in this episode, Christine shares:
- Why good data is the foundation for meaningful donor relationships
- The top 3 data health issues most nonprofits miss—and how to fix them
- How to maintain clean data without chasing perfection
- Why “data is never done” and how to build healthy maintenance rhythms
- Tips for fundraisers without a full-time DBA
- Why CRMs should reflect relationships, not just transactions
