Pharos Intelligence
Actionable insights to guide the next generation of nonprofit, philanthropy, and social sector leaders
Social Sector Leaders Need Insights, Not Just Data
Pharos Intelligence is a social enterprise that equips nonprofit and foundation leaders with the data, insight, and strategy they need to make high-impact decisions. Powered by our next-gen data platform, we provide benchmarking on financial health, operational capacity, and funding trends—helping nonprofits identify growth opportunities, assess strategic partners, and build long-term sustainability. We also support foundations in evaluating grantees, uncovering funding gaps, and aligning giving strategies with measurable results. Our goal is to strengthen the connective tissue across the social sector, enabling mission-aligned organizations to work more collaboratively and drive greater collective impact.
