Measure ment Out come It’s Important Because… • It provides clear evidence that the program makes a difference in the lives of people • It helps improve services • It helps enlist and motivate volunteers • It demonstrates the effectiveness of programs to stakeholders (funders, donors, community, BOD, etc.) “Outcome Measurement creates focus in a way no other management tool can do.” United Way O.M. Training participant

  8. Measure ment Out come What Stakeholders Want Is… • To make funding decisions that will make a difference in the lives of people and the community • To be convinced that an organization’s programs are wise financial investments • To see a direct correlation between program activities and anticipated outcomes “The funder doesn’t really care about your organization’s needs…they care about what your organization can do!” Rebecca Vermillion Shawyer, CharityChannel’s Grants & Foundations Review

  9. Measure ment Out come An Effective Way to Demonstrate Such a Correlation Is… • To define the program • Understand the terminology Activities – what the program does to fulfill its mission. Outputs – the direct products of program activities. This is stated in real numbers and shows the volume of work accomplished. Outcomes – the benefits or changes for participants during or after program activities. Outcomes indicate the impact that your program has on the lives of the participants and is stated from the participants’ viewpoint (i.e. what participants know, think, or can do; or how they behave; or what their condition is, that is different following the program.) Outcome Indicators – the specific observable, measurable characteristic or change that will represent achievement of the outcome. Indicators are what measurable data you intend to collect. Measured Outcomes – report of data collected; expressed in both a number and a percentage • Create a Program Outcome Model

We asked our clients, ‘What’s important?’” United Way O.M. Training participant
