We’ve kicked off our Spring 2021 MORE cohort, our second in the new virtual MORE model. Over in the MORE Alumni Evaluation Network on LinkedIn, we had a busy month of resource sharing.
We shared a resource for secondary data, with benchmark data for foundation evaluation projects. The Sharp Insight team also shared a new favorite post, their Ode to Outputs, which we hope our MORE alums will appreciate. It’s no “stand up, sit down,” but that’s more difficult to facilitate over a blog post! As we’ve been reading more about equity in evaluation, we shared an article with some simple steps to help get started connecting diversity, equity, and inclusion to your metrics. As an added bonus, an alum shared a video on data visualization that we think you might enjoy.
A resource we hope you’ll all give a listen is a video from We All Count with a message about what we really want to know about identity. If you’re interested in seeing more resources like these, join 111 of your nonprofit colleagues in our LinkedIn alumni network!
Alumni are encouraged to join us for the next MORE office hours (and informal discussion/Q&A) on Wednesday, March 17 at noon by registering here. The spring cohort just debriefed on the levels of influence, which we hope rings some bells. We’re planning to focus most of the office hours discussion on how different organizations approach their evaluation of the various levels.
