About IdleNet Consulting
Helping nonprofits capture value sitting idle in their data
Who We Are
IdleNet Consulting helps mission-driven organizations use data and automation to work smarter—not harder. Our work centers on a simple truth: nonprofits already have valuable information inside their systems, spreadsheets, and daily operations. We help you uncover that value, make sense of it, and use it to strengthen your programs, your fundraising, and your impact.
The name IdleNet is inspired by the idea of leaving our nets behind to follow a higher purpose. It also reflects a calling to use our skills to help organizations gather the insights waiting—often untouched—in their data.
What We Do
We help nonprofits develop and execute the data strategies, tools, and processes that turn information into impact:
Data Strategy
We design practical, mission-aligned roadmaps that help you tap into the value hiding in your data and strengthen the processes that turn information into insight.
Automation & Reporting Processes
We streamline how information flows into your reports and dashboards—so insight delivery becomes faster, more accurate, and less manual. IdleNet_Consulting_OnePager
Dashboards & Reporting
We build clear, accessible dashboards that illuminate the metrics that matter most: grant compliance, program efficiency, fundraising performance, community impact, and more.
Storytelling Through Data
We transform impact metrics into compelling visuals and narratives that communicate why your work matters—and why each investment in your mission is worthwhile. IdleNet_Consulting_OnePager
Capacity Development & Training
“Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish…” - We don’t just build systems—we help you build the skills to use and maintain them. Your team gains the confidence to manage and grow your data program long after our engagement ends.
Our Approach
Every organization’s mission is unique. Our job is to help you use data in a way that supports—not complicates—your work.
Here’s how we do it:
Listen deeply. We start by understanding your mission, people, and goals.
Simplify complexity. We make your data work for you, not against you.
Deliver tools that last. Sustainable systems, transparent insights, and confident decisions.
What Makes Us Different
IdleNet sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and process. We don’t just build dashboards or fix spreadsheets—we help organizations develop the systems, habits, and clarity they need to grow. Our focus is on your success in making the world a better place. Let us help.
A Word From Our Founder
“Before founding IdleNet, I spent years helping large corporations translate data into financial performance. I realized those same tools could help nonprofits measure what matters and amplify their mission. My goal is to help organizations doing good in the world capture the value sitting idle in their data.”
“I love helping others make their data more useful. Whether that means cleaning it up and building processes that lead to trust, designing dashboards that are impactful and easy to use, or helping teams work backward from the story they need to tell to the data strategy that will get them there—I’m here for it. Most of all, I love helping people build the confidence, capacity, and desire to continue their own data journeys.”
— David Poisson, Founder
