The Center for What Works and The Urban Institute recently completed the initial phase of a research project to provide the first sector-wide framework for nonprofit program outcomes and indicators for success. Currently, there are 14 outcomes frameworks and a draft for a Common Outcomes Taxonomy, all to assist service providers and funders to identify well-researched program outcomes and key indicators to measure, compare, and improve program impact.
WhatWorks has developed two online tools to bring this research to your organization. The Toolkit is a "how-to" guide for nonprofit executives, staff, and boards to tackle one of the most challenging issues facing the sector: how to measure and account for their results. Includes outcome and impact framework tools.
