Program Evaluation
Call it performance management, results-based accountability, or continuous quality improvement, but the concept that not-for-profit organizations must prove their efficacy is here to stay. Public and private funders are embracing the old concepts of impact and accountability in new waves, and as they do, they’re pushing these requirements down the line. Does your organization have a plan for program evaluation? Do you collect the data you need to show your programs’ impact? Does your budgeting and planning process take into account the relative effectiveness of your various programs? We’ve helped numerous organizations with exactly these challenges, and have even developed a library of resources to guide organizations through the process.
