Measuring Outcomes and Organizational Success
Increasingly
nonprofit organizations must measure and report on how well they accomplish their
mission. A key part of accountability
to individual, corporate and foundation donors is giving them data describing how well
you meet the objectives of projects they fund. We specialize first in helping nonprofit
organizations create meaningful, customized, and measurable
outcomes, and
secondly in analyzing how well these outcomes have been met.
Planning
We complement this with strategic planning assistance. A great idea goes nowhere without a solid program or business plan, a realistic budget, and funding. Claro offers specific program and business development services including:
