The Number One Metric to Demonstrate Impact
Jan 18, 2023I think we can all agree that metrics matter and that we must measure our programs' effectiveness if we want to demonstrate impact.
And if you know me at all - I believe it is our duty, as people running nonprofits, to demonstrate our impact.
You don’t get the luxury of taking people’s money to offer a public good without proving that you actually do what you say you do.
If you have a mission…which if you’re a nonprofit you do…then you need to be able to measure, in quantifiable terms, how successful you’re being in accomplishing that mission.
But, I know it's easy to get overwhelmed by deciding what to measure, and how to track it, and nonprofits often find themselves floating in a sea of data that may or may not be all that meaningful.
So in this episode, I am talking about really the only metric you should care about and how you can measure it.
