How can you ensure your nonprofit is genuinely creating positive change rather than unintentionally causing harm? 

Nonprofit leaders should aim to “do no harm”, and evaluating programs is a crucial step in ensuring that nonprofits are making a positive impact instead of causing unintended negative consequences.
Unfortunately, it can be challenging to evaluate your programs effectively, especially with limited resources and expertise. 

It's time to shift from charity to change.

In our latest episode of THRIVERS, Tucker and Sarah dive deep into the challenges of evaluation and how to overcome them. They discuss the importance of understanding the pains of evaluation, such as:

• The lack of proper training in conducting evaluations
• Balancing necessary resources
• Making evaluations accessible for community-based nonprofits
• Aligning good intentions with good science

They also highlight the importance of avoiding common pitfalls in program evaluation: 

• It's essential not to expand programs without evaluating the existing ones, and 
• Always resist generalizing impact from one segment to another (e.g., assuming success with high schoolers translates to middle schoolers).

Join us for an insightful discussion on overcoming evaluation challenges and embracing practical advice on how to transform your nonprofit's approach to evaluation.
