There are many tried-and-true methods for assessment and evaluation—such as surveys and interviews—that effectively measure needs, experiences and impact. However, innovative data and evaluative approaches can further strengthen your nonprofit by expanding the range, depth, and relevance of insights you gather, especially in complex, community-based work. These methods can surface structural barriers, cultural dynamics, and ecosystem influences that traditional metric-based approaches often overlook and advance relationships and trust, which are critical to nonprofit work.
