In this workshop, we’re going to make what many see as daunting and out-of-reach – fun, interactive, and meaningful. We will guide participants through an 8-step process to redefine how data and evaluation can improve an organization, and integrate it into the delivery of its programs. By connecting your daily activities to the long-term outcomes you are trying to achieve, getting clear about their commitment to equity (and how to measure it), and building the internal capacity for continuous improvement – nonprofits can reframe how they collect and use data to be in service of their organizations and their clients first – setting them up to stand out from their peers.

Together, we will be breaking through the complexity of program evaluation and learn easily accessible, manageable, and actionable steps, in a way that prioritizes consideration for the capacity, time, and budget constraints of the nonprofit sector.

Key takeaways include:

• Learn how to understand, measure, and communicate the value of your programming to clients, donors, and funders.
• Learn how to build a culture of continuous improvement and learning and set your organization up for fundraising success.
• Get tangible, accessible, tools to help your program stand out as the best provider for the services you offer. 

This session is appropriate for nonprofit professionals of all skill levels that work at organizations of all sizes. Track: Leadership/Management; Marketing/Communications; Operations
