Course Overview

Tuesday, October 7 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Evaluation is the key to successfully scaling and sustaining the impact of nonprofits. When we don't know IF our program works or WHY it works, we may struggle to justify continued funding. We may also risk losing community engagement, and we may disengage from the core mission that drives our work. In this session, we will explore what and how to evaluate programs to ensure the future of your organization through scale and sustainability. Participants will leave with specific tools to implement and a stronger theoretical understanding of the nature of evaluation.
