SUMMARY:Million Dollar Gifts\, Part 2: Executing your Major Gifts Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation is the key to successfully scaling and sustaining the impact of nonprofits. When we don’t know IF our program works or WHY it works\, we may struggle to justify continued funding. We may also risk losing community engagement\, and we may disengage from the core mission that drives our work. In this session\, we will explore what and how to evaluate programs to ensure the future of your organization through scale and sustainability. Participants will leave with specific tools to implement and a stronger theoretical understanding of the nature of evaluation. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand the components of effective program development — planning\, executing\, and evaluating programs.\nIdentify resources available to support consistent professional development in program development skills.\n\nWho should attend: Nonprofit Management Program participants\, Nonprofit Development Officers\, Fundraising Professionals\, staff and anyone interested in enhancing their career with these skills. \nREGISTER HERE
