Program Evaluation
Advancing Nonprofit Excellence in Delaware
Donors and the community want to know the good work nonprofits are doing. Tracking and reporting program and mission outcomes are not always easy to do. DANA has several resources to assist nonprofits in capturing insights, tracking and analyzing the data, and communicating results.
DANA, in partnership with the Public Health Management Corporation, is now able to offer nonprofits resources and tools to measure and evaluate outcomes.
You can use these tools to improve your outcome evaluation techniques, which will ultimately help your organization communicate the results of their programs and services and the impact they are having in the community.
These tools and resources are made available to all nonprofit professionals at no cost by the Longwood Foundation.
