About WhatWorks


The Center for What Works (WhatWorks) improves social sector results through benchmarking for nonprofits, a strategy to facilitate outcomes measurement and reporting by linking nonprofits and funders through a common language. 

  Framework for Nonprofit Outcomes and Indicators


In partnership, WhatWorks and the Urban Institute completed the initial phase of research to provide the first sector-wide framework for nonprofit program outcomes and indicators for success. The framework assists nonprofits to identify and measure common program outcomes to benchmark and improve. It also assists funders by providing a common language to assess grantee performance.  Current research results.  Online outcomes portal tools.
     
      
 Performance Measurement Toolkit for Nonprofits and Funders

WhatWorks Performance Measurement Toolkit offers efficient and effective "how-to" resources for nonprofit executives, staff, boards, and funders to tackle one of the most challenging issues facing the sector: how to measure and account for results.  Click on the appropriate image to learn more.
