Meet the NCRP team
Information and Data Director
Lisa Firnberg brings 15 years of experience at the intersection of nonprofit operations, database implementation and information management to her role as NCRP’s Information and Data Director. Lisa collaborates with staff from across all NCRP’s teams to develop and maintain an accessible, purposeful, and adaptive information management system that fits the diverse needs of stakeholders across the organization.
Throughout her career, Lisa’s passion has been to “make order out of chaos” – to unravel complexity, establish consistency, and ultimately strengthen the operational foundation that allows mission-driven organizations to thrive. Prior to joining NCRP, Lisa served as both Director of Information Management and Deputy Director for Operations at the Maryland Coalition of Families (MCF), a nonprofit organization serving caregivers of those with mental and behavioral health challenges. While there she implemented and managed a new Salesforce database system, which transformed the way the organization managed its programs and its funder reporting. Before that, Lisa held numerous roles within the Professional Services department of Social Solutions (now part of the Bonterra family of technology products), implementing case management and outcome measuring software with nonprofit organizations, funders, and government agencies across the United States.
Lisa holds a B.A. in Economics from Johns Hopkins University. She lives in Maryland with her husband and two young children. Outside of work and family life, Lisa is a volunteer leader with Jews United for Justice (JUFJ), an organizing group in the DC/Maryland region that advances social, racial and economic justice campaigns that bring immediate and concrete improvement to people’s lives.
