Miami Valley Nonprofit Collaborative Training Opportunity

Telling the story of your program:

A quick and dirty overview of program evaluation for non-profits

With an increasingly measurement driven culture, gathering evidence of the difference that an initiative is making is important, particularly within a grant-funding space. All too often evaluations focus on project activities (e.g., outputs) rather than meaningful project impact (e.g., outcomes).In this presentation, Dr. Lana Rucks, Principal Consultant with The Rucks Group will walk through all evaluation phases from planning to reporting to better tell the story of your work. Based in Dayton, The Rucks Group is a seven-person research and evaluation firm that gathers, analyzes, and interprets data to enable our clients to measure the impact of their work. Formed in 2008, the firm partners with government, foundations, and higher education clients across the US.
