We deliver social programs. We want to show our donors and volunteers that their contributions are making a measurable difference to the people we support.
“WE KNOW WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE”
Our funders are starting to ask whether their generous support of our community programs is making a real difference. The best we can do is conduct surveys and relate compelling client success stories. However, we have no objective way to report on the outcomes and impact we are having on people’s lives.
“There are many reasons:”
The most valuable effect we have on people’s lives is often intangible and therefore not readily measurable with hard data.
There is no standardized methodology for measuring and reporting that can capture how we are making a difference.
We have limited tracking resources to monitor our clients’ progress throughout the program.
We lack resources for measurement and reporting.
We have no ability to recognize our volunteers’ and donors’ generosity according to how their support is making a real difference.
We have limited tracking resources to monitor our clients’ progress throughout the program.
Our priority is helping people, so we try to avoid bureaucracy.
It is difficult to capture how we are helping our clients to develop soft skills that will allow them to adapt to future demands, such as changes in work environments and evolving demand for hard skills.
We have no ability to track our clients’ progress after they leave the program, so we never really know the true impact we have had.
