WHO SHOULD READ THIS?
This white paper is for the people responsible for proving that nonprofit work matters: CEOs, funders, grant writers, program leaders, evaluators, and everyone else trying to turn outcomes, data, and stories into a stronger case for support.
The problem is not that nonprofits do not care about evaluation. The problem is that the funding environment often rewards short-term revenue activity while underfunding the very evidence base that makes long-term sustainability possible.
