The ability to measure the impact of programs is an essential skill for nonprofit organizations. With County Executive Marc Elrich placing a high priority on outcomes, building evaluation capacity in nonprofits is more important than ever. MORE (Metrics and Outcomes for Responsible Evaluation) was developed in partnership with the County and other local funders to strengthen nonprofit capacity to measure and communicate program outcomes, and to use outcome data to improve programs. MORE includes hands on learning and opportunities to develop implementation plans as a team.
At MORE you will:
Nonprofits participate in MORE as a team of up to four senior leaders. The MORE program consists of 1-1/2 days of training on March 21 and 22 at The Universities at Shady Grove, an individual session with an evaluation consultant, and a group follow-up session.
On what they liked best about MORE, one participant stated, “how interactive the presentation was and the activities throughout the day to keep participants focused and attentive. It was interactive learning and had practical tools.”
