Using a Measurement Framework: The Implementation Challenge

The data is in! There are many ways to define the results we want from our grantmaking; however, for many of us, the hardest part can be integrating those results into how we make grant decisions and how our organization measures and tracks success from our grants and efforts. The same is true for our nonprofit partners who have not yet begun to think about tracking participant outcomes as part of their culture or practice.

What can we do to address the barriers and challenges that we and our nonprofit partners face?

This is the continuation of a conversation we started at a PEAK2019 roundtable discussion in Denver and, whether you were there or not, join us to explore the data on how grants management professionals implement measurement. It will reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Belief Coach

BeliefWorks

Wendy is passionate about enabling individuals, organizations and communities to value themselves and each other in the ongoing process of change. She has guided hundreds of individuals and over 750+ public and private sector organizations to achieve tangible increases in impact and performance. Wendy’s skills have been honed in leadership and mentoring roles at MTV Networks, The Rensselaerville Institute, and the nonprofit she runs in her town. In 2015 she became The Belief Coach and offers Belief Coaching as a way to address the root cause of what limits the results we can achieve both personally and professionally. This is an 'upstream' solution to change. Instead of changing limiting behavior, she focuses on changing the limiting beliefs that drive that behavior. In all cases, her clients and partners speak to the specific increases in achievement that her consulting, coaching and partnership roles make possible.
