You have clear goals, and a strong understanding of what your program does (and why). In this workshop, you will design an evaluation and measurement plan that is the right scope and intensity for your organization — no matter the size, mission area, or staff knowledge of evaluation. Leave with a roadmap that will help you choose measures of performance and outcomes, plan to monitor them, and understand and communicate results in a way that drives continuous improvement and buy-in from funders, staff, and constituents.

The Nonprofit Center believes that Organizational Learning and Measurement is one of the four key elements of an effective, sustainable and adaptable organization. To learn more about The Nonprofit Center’s Stronger Nonprofits Framework, click here.
