Start the (fiscal) year off right with metrics!
With the end of the fiscal year approaching for many organizations, many non-profits will be scrambling to finalize their year-end metrics for their fundraising appeals and promotional pieces. Join with professional evaluator Paul Bonfanti of Bonfanti Consulting to discuss innovative ways to get more out of your year-end metrics. Are you measuring the most important things your organization does? Are you speaking to your outcome and impact, or just counting services? Are you using your metrics to inform decision-making throughout the year to address issues and improve your work? We'll discuss designing and choosing metrics, creating and using dashboards, instituting structures to track and use data during the year, and much more. Any organization that is looking to institute more data-informed decision-making will benefit from this session.
Learning Objectives:
Learn how to choose and track the right metrics so your organization can clearly show results and impact, not just activities, in year-end appeals and reports.
Understand how to use data throughout the year to spot issues, make better decisions, and improve programs and fundraising efforts.
