Apricot Data Standards & Service Provider Networks Overview

Apricot Data Standards and Service Provider Networks help organizations collect, structure, and share data more consistently. Together, they support clearer reporting, stronger collaboration, and more confidence in the results you use to demonstrate impact.

At the core of this framework are Data Standards. Data Standards define how data is collected and structured in Apricot and can be used by a single organization on their own. They are also required for reporting in tools like Impact Hub.

Service Provider Networks build on Data Standards by allowing organizations to collaborate and align data collection across multiple Apricot organizations. Networks are optional and are used when organizations want to share Data Standards and support coordinated reporting.
