The planning portion of this class will feature essential practices for nonprofits to follow in defining their overall activities including community input, strategic planning, operational plans, risk management and disaster planning. During the evaluation portion of this class participants will learn about the critical fundamentals for effective program evaluation. Executive directors, board members and program staff responsible for evaluation are the primary targets for this important workshop.

Fundraising and Executive Leadership Results Matter: Improve Programs and Advance Fundraising with Performance Measures 12:30pm-2:30pm Presenters Forthcoming Can you prove that your organization does great work? While evaluation is important to ensure the very best programs and services, it is also very important for fundraising. Many granting agencies, and now donors, are seeking evidence that nonprofit programs are needed and that fiscal resources are being utilized to produce targeted outcomes. With added competition for funding, organizations that can demonstrate critical need for their programs - and then the effectiveness of their program activities - will be viewed more favorably. Foundation boards and donors want to know that their funds are being used wisely. Learn how to develop a plan for evaluation and how to best report your effectiveness to the people that invest in your organization.
