Michael Butchko

As the vice president of Business Intelligence at NeighborWorks, Michael Butchko provides NeighborWorks America and the NeighborWorks network with cutting-edge technology and data visualization experts to communicate national and local impact. This million-dollar, enterprise-wide technology endeavor is an example of his commitment to gathering and incorporating stakeholder feedback and entrepreneurship and making complex technology accessible to diverse organizations. He also partnered with Tableau (a world-renowned interactive data visualization software company) on the NeighborWorks Tableau Fellowship, a first of its kind capacity building initiative to advance the analytical capacity and culture of the NeighborWorks network.

Since Butchko joined the NeighborWorks team in 2000, he's proven himself as a programs expert with experience leading and collaborating on initiatives across every NeighborWorks division. Passionate about strengthening the capacity of the network, he also volunteered as an Excellence in Governance board coach from 2013-2018 and was consistently recognized as a top-rated coach by each of the three nonprofits that he mentored, with board members and CEOs citing his critical thinking and leadership abilities.

Butchko holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Wilkes University. He also holds a Master of Science in Public Policy Analysis from the University of Rochester, where he worked with a local community foundation to build a structure to measure its impact and recommended these proposed changes to the foundation’s management and board of directors. Butchko actively supports community access to local food by hosting a neighborhood farm drop and working with local mission-driven nonprofits providing services to underserved residents.
