Nonprofits, do you face these CHALLENGES?
|
|
- We want to effectively measure the results of our programs and assess how well they align with our mission, but where do we start?
- We need to articulate and market the outcomes for our target clients to more successfully secure funding; how do we do that?
- We have a pretty good measurement system in place but we don't necessarily measure the right things; how do we identify better indicators?
- Now that we have data, how do we report on it in a way that will be useful for program improvement and potentially for increased funding?

"As grantseekers, I feel it is extremely important for us to have an evaluation in place that clearly analyzes what our non-profit is accomplishing. This prototype takes out the guess-work and provides concrete planning/measuring materials that can only help non-profits grow."

"After collaborating with the Center for What Works on development of the Measure What Matters e-learning course, Cisco added it to our requirements for new grantseeking organizations. Individuals filling out our online proposal application were asked to review the course before filling in the Measurement of Program Success section. We have noted a significant enhancement in the level of sophistication and quality of the metrics and milestones submitted by grantseeking organizations, and a decrease in the time we need to spend working with new grantees on finalizing their metrics before we sign the grant agreements."
- Peter Tavernise, Sr. Manager, Cisco Corporation Affairs; Sr. Program Officer, Cisco Foundation
