| Abstract: A non-profit organization will present on the process they went through to find an evaluation reporting tool that met their needs. From client management software, to online survey tools, to the development of a customized instrument, they will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each tool they encountered, and the context and purpose for which each type of tool is best suited. They will outline what they considered in choosing the right tool for them, the challenges they encountered, how their customized tool was developed, and how they use the tool to gather evaluation reports from the programs they fund. The tool itself will be demonstrated and the presenters will show how programs submit data, how data is analyzed, and how aggregate data is converted into evaluation reports that depict their organization's progress toward its mission. |
