Why attend

Philanthropic organizations are under growing pressure to demonstrate that their funding delivers measurable impact—but the pathways from grants to real-world outcomes are often fragmented and difficult to track. Without better visibility into the research and policy ecosystems their investments influence, funders risk making decisions with incomplete evidence.

At the TAG Annual Conference, conversations will explore how integrated research intelligence—through platforms such as Dimensions and Altmetric—can help grantmakers connect funding to publications, policy influence, and broader societal impact. By linking research outputs, attention signals, and funding data, organizations can gain a clearer understanding of how their investments shape knowledge and change.

Meet our team

Members of our team, Sarah Laffey, Director, Government & Funders, and Doug Cannon, Account Manager, Government & Funders, will be attending the conference and would welcome the opportunity to exchange ideas on the future of data-driven philanthropy—join us for a conversation in the booth or during the event.
