Join us in-person for this great program plus coffee and snacks at the meeting room of the University branch of the Seattle Public Library. 

Program Description

During their 30+ years of evaluation experience, The Center for Community Health and Evaluation (CCHE) has seen time and time again how communities, organizations, and funders don’t have the needed tools and internal capacity to understand whether programs are achieving their goals.

In response, CCHE developed an open-source Measuring What Matters curriculum to support nonprofits, community collaboratives and funders that want to understand how their programs are making a difference and communicate the results. This online toolkit walks through how to design and conduct an evaluation that is useful, feasible, ethical, accurate, and equitable. 

At this in-person event, CCHE will demonstrate how they utilize the toolkit to empower communities, organizations, funders, and new evaluators as they develop evaluation capacity and tell their own story. Come be a part of the conversation:

• What is the toolkit? How could its tips and tricks, templates, and checklists help your organization or partners build evaluation capacity in diverse communities?
• Explore individual sections through CCHE case studies — and apply your own experiences
• How can CCHE help support your communities, funders, and new evaluators in telling their best stories?

If you would like to learn more or have questions about the program, contact CCHE at cche@kp.org.

Presenters: Elena Kuo, Erin Hertel, Abby Isaacson
