Engagement session
Incentives And Evidence Use in B3s/Nonprofits
This data and evaluation learning series is offered in collaboration with DARO and funders. It is co-designed and implemented to engage key stakeholders (e.g., B3/nonprofit leaders, funders, system leaders, evaluation and research practitioners). It aims to assess, diagnose, identify gaps in current evaluation practices and explore alternative approaches that improve data and evidence use in B3s/nonprofits and funders.
After participating in this evaluation learning series, you will be able to:
- Assess and diagnose the current state of evaluation practices within the nonprofit sector and their effectiveness in promoting evidence-based decision-making
- Identify gaps between current evaluation practices and their intended goals of fostering genuine learning and improvement
- Examine the implications of these gaps for B3s/nonprofits, funders, evaluation practitioners, and communities
- Explore and consider alternative approaches that better support evidence-based decision-making and transformational evaluation relationships.
Yonatan Ghebray and Ben McNamee
This is designed for B3s/nonprofits, funders, evaluation and research practitioners, system leaders, and academic institutions.
Participants will engage in roundtable and panel discussions as well as work in small groups to co-design and test alternative approaches.
