Data Visualization with Que

Que's Data Visualization skill gives NFG fundraisers a faster way to see how their organization is performing without leaving Que or building a single chart manually. Instead of exporting data or digging through reports, you ask Que a question and get an inline visualization drawn directly from your live NFG data.

Using the chat interface, you can ask Que to show revenue trends, compare donor segments over time, and track retention performance across full years or year-to-date. Que returns bar and line charts rendered inline, all ready to screenshot, download, or share with your team.

NFG Intelligence customers have unlimited access to this skill. Standard NFG Que customers can use Data Visualization within their existing 35 monthly Que credits.

 

What can Data Visualization with Que do for you?

Que's Data Visualization skill helps Sarah, a Development Director at a small environmental nonprofit, prepare for her quarterly board meeting without spending hours in spreadsheets. She opens Que and types, "Show me revenue and donor count over the last 4 years." Que returns an inline bar chart pulled directly from her NFG data, no setup, no export, no manual chart-building required.

When she wants to dig deeper before a campaign planning session, she asks Que to compare new, retained, and reactivated donors across the past three years. Que renders a segmented chart showing her donor mix over time, giving her exactly what she needs to decide whether to prioritize acquisition, retention, or win-back this cycle.

Que pulls from the data already in your NFG account, no new data infrastructure required. The more specific your question and timeframe, the more targeted and useful the output will be.
