The data platform for the social sector
Unify your data, programs, and reporting in one streamlined platform. Avandar lets you analyze, visualize, and monitor your programs faster than ever before at a fraction of the cost.
The gap
80% of nonprofits lack the digital tools to support their mission
Teams with better digital tools are 4x more likely to achieve their mission goals. And yet, nonprofits still drown in data, unable to find the right tools at the right price to support them.
New program launches
Data multiplies quickly
Teams struggle to keep up
Programs stall and people get left behind.
Features
Everything you need in one place to manage programs, data, and reporting
- Ingest your data from Google Sheets or upload massive CSVs—millions of rows at once—in just seconds. Avandar's unique architecture can process your uploaded datasets orders of magnitude faster than traditional tools and instantly generate data summaries and insights. If you have sensitive data, you can choose to never sync it to the cloud without ever sacrificing performance: Avandar can process all data locally, in your browser, without ever transferring any data.
- Explore, query, and visualize your data with powerful no-code tools. Ask questions in plain language using our AI-powered nautral language querying, so no SQL or programming is ever required. Avandar's unique architecture ensures all your data stays 100% private: everything is processed locally in your browser and never shared with an AI model. The AI only helps prepare the right queries and never has access to your raw data.
- Create custom dashboards to visualize the insights that matter most to your team or mission. Share your interactive dashboards publicly with external stakeholders, funders, or even the general public.
- Extend Avandar with plugins built for your mission, from add-ons for health crises to collections of local data sources. Install what you need, build your own, or share with the community. It’s all open source and designed to grow with you.
- Map your data and uncover spatial insights with built-in geospatial analysis. Connect your maps to your program management for a full operational view.
- Generate web-based or PDF reports using your own templates or from our collection of templates. Perfect for grants, internal reviews, and external reporting.
Designed for how the social sector actually works
Most data platforms are built for "big tech" scale and then awkwardly repackaged for nonprofits. Avandar starts from the realities of the social sector: your data sizes, your constraints, your privacy needs, and designs the architecture around them.
Reimagining the data pipeline
We've designed an on-demand data pipeline that identifies the data you need at query time and processes it directly in your browser. This keeps sensitive records close to home, reduces data transfers, and delivers results faster than platforms built for much larger, less common data scales.
Data that adapts with you
Most tools force you into a rigid data model, which are unsuitable for social causes whose needs change quickly. With Avandar, you can describe your programs and data in plain terms and Avandar will turn it into a rich ontology. The result is a platform that reshapes itself around your programs as they grow and change.
Lower costs by design
It was an explicit goal of ours to be affordable for the social sector. By optimizing for the sector's realities, our unique architecture is not only more efficient and flexible than traditional data platforms, but also runs at a fraction of the cost. This allows us to offer plans that can work for even the most resource-constrained teams.
Testimonials
What people say
Teams across the social sector use Avandar to get organized, move faster, and make better decisions with their data.
[Avandar's] tech has let us unify previously unusable data and query massive files that ordinary people could never touch, and we've begun helping patients and engaging state regulators to detect patterns of overbilling that we hope can bring down healthcare costs over time.
There's a distinct need in the nonprofit industry for a tool like Avandar. A simple user-friendly hub for data visualization that that empowers leaders to make better decisions, easily measure impact and push their missions forward.

Yes. Avandar is available for anyone to register but it is still in beta. The platform is still under active development and several bugs are still being fixed. Your feedback during this time is incredibly valuable and you can help us tailor Avandar to your exact needs.
Avandar Labs was founded by Pablo Sarmiento, a software engineer and public health professional who has seen firsthand how “Big Tech” prioritizes profits over people. This has left the social sector paying for tools that weren't made for them just to stay afloat.
Avandar is the first end-to-end data management platform built exclusively for the social sector from its very first line of code. With backgrounds in full stack software engineering, public health, humanitarian response, and international development, Avandar is dedicated to providing the digital tools that meet the needs of teams that are uplifting their communities and saving lives.
Avandar is a fully customizable data management platform. You can tailor it to any program, domain, or mission thanks to Avandar's plugin marketplace.
From public health to climate, from donor tracking to humanitarian relief, Avandar helps you manage it all.
Avandar isn't built for traditional “big data” in the tech industry sense (think petabytes, real-time streams, and massive distributed systems). The reality is that most nonprofits don't need that. Thanks to computational advancements, what used to require “big data” infrastructure can now be handled far more cheaply. But most tech companies still build their products for a data scale that most of the social sector doesn't need.
Avandar is designed for the “missing middle.” Nonprofits with too much data for a spreadsheet, but not enough to justify expensive big tech solutions. If your organization has tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of rows, Avandar can support you quickly, affordably, and without the overhead of tools built for much larger use cases.
You don't have to migrate your data to start using Avandar. It can connect with your existing tools, such as Google Sheets, Airtable, Salesforce, Postgres, and more, so you get a unified view of your work.
Not at all. Avandar is built for the entire social sector, not just nonprofits. That includes for-profit social enterprises, mission-driven businesses, and even individuals working on their own social initiatives trying to make an impact in their communities. If your work aims to improve lives and strengthen communities, Avandar is built for you.
