The Social Impact Measurement Certificate is designed for individuals who want to lead their organization’s efforts in evaluating or tracking the performance of their programs. It will help individuals:

• Design an evaluation;
• Learn to collect data to tell your organization’s story;
• Analyze and use information you collect.

Today’s successful nonprofit organizations are placing more emphasis on evaluation in order to:

• Plan and improve programs based on data;
• Prove they are worthy of the public trust and the dollars they are given;
• Show contributors that their social investment is working –what’s their return on investment?
• Ensure that people for whom the organization exists are receiving tangible benefits;
• Help understand delivery of programs and staffing needs from a management perspective.
