Join Thrive, San Mateo County Health, and Bay Area Equity Atlas as we gain a deeper understanding of the state of equity in the Bay Area, and learn how nonprofits can utilize data in advocacy efforts, policy, grant writing, and more. 

This session will include a training on the San Mateo County All Together Better (SMCATB) data portal, managed by San Mateo County Health, Office of Epidemiology & Evaluation. This portal contains County-specific data on health outcomes, health behaviors, healthcare access, and socioeconomic conditions. This training will provide an overview of the SMCATB data portal, including how to search for data, build dashboards, and use other useful resources.

You will also receive an overview of the Bay Area Equity Atlas, a data-driven tool created to track the state of equity in the Bay Area region, with a focus on addressing systemic racism and discrimination. This tool offers robust, disaggregated data, covering geographies from the nine Bay Area counties down to individual census tracts, with the goal of democratizing data and increasing the capacity of change-makers and advocates to use data to advance policy solutions for a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient Bay Area. This training will provide an update on Bay Area Equity Atlas's recent research projects and community engagement efforts since the project's launch in 2019.

Thrive Resource Room is a recurring virtual program, where you will hear about Thrive updates and learn about free and affordable community resources to help your organization, as well as an overview of Thrive member benefits and how to get more involved in our cross-sector network. If you have services or information that you would like to share at our next Thrive Resource Room meeting, please email Keirstan.

We encourage you to send staff members and volunteers (especially new ones!) to one of our sessions to ensure that they are taking advantage of Thrive's resources and opportunities.

*Zoom information will be sent to registered attendees.
