This morning I attend the United Way Financial Stability Partnership meeting. This group of nonprofit agencies, along with foundation and funding providers is working on issues related to housing, income support, savings and assets, and employment that impact people's ability to be self-sufficient. Today's meeting looked at many of the issues surrounding reporting and measuring of the data nonprofit agencies collect to assess their programs. These can then be used to determine whether programs are having positive impacts on the community.
At SVdP Atlanta we are working with a Georgia Tech MBA Pro Bono team to develop our own set of measures to look at our programmatic outputs, outcomes, and impacts so that we can be sure that our programs and services are both efficient and effective and that we are being good stewards of the donations we receive from you.
I'll keep you informed as the Ga Tech project continues on what we're coming up with.
On another note, the 2nd grade students from Holy Redeemer School just dropped off the coats that they collected in their coat drive. They brought THIRTY TWO BAGS of coats to us here. What a great group of kids! I gave them a tour of the facility here and we had a great time together. We'll have some pictures up on the website soon I'm sure.
