 unt for 5-part webinar)\nIn our increasingly data-driven world\, nonprofit
 s need to be able to measure and monitor the effectiveness of their progra
 ms more than ever. It’s difficult to improve program services or reach wit
 hout first understanding what's working and what isn't. Gathering the righ
 t data is key. From how many meals served at your soup kitchen or the numb
 er of students in a mentoring program who graduate high school to the perc
 ent of your target population without access to affordable housing\, being
  able to track such numbers can help you identify the improvement or impac
 t of your programs or organization.\n\nUnfortunately\, while more funders 
 and constituents expect you to be evaluating your programs\, it can be cha
 llenging to ask the right questions\, gather the data\, and analyze the re
 sults. But that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach for small and medium-sized 
 nonprofits to do so. Having a solid understanding of the process is an ess
 ential first step. \n\nThat’s where Idealware can help. In The Program Dat
 a for Information and Transformation Toolkit\, we will start presenting th
 is complete look at how data can inform your organization by showing you w
 here you can find important organizational data\, and where you should sto
 re it. We’ll continue with a discussion around how you should think about\
 , measure\, and present data to others. Finally\, we’ll share how data can
  inform your decision-making process.\n\nThroughout the course\, we’ll exp
 lore how real organizations are using their data\, and provide ample oppor
 tunities—both during class and our weekly office hours—to talk through how
  this applies to your own organization.\n\nJuly 2: Making Use of Your Data
 \nIn the final course\, we will discuss the various ways you can go about 
 using the data now that it has been collected and analyzed. We’ll examine 
 case studies of several nonprofits that have used their metrics strategies
  to improve the strength and capacity of their organizations\, and look at
  best practices for moving forward in your own office.\n\nThis course is t
 argeted at program staff\, leadership staff\, and fundraising staff—really
  anyone who is responsible for measuring outcomes or results for their org
 anization. This is a beginner-to-intermediate course for the everyday staf
 fer (or board member) who is tasked with evaluation but doesn't know where
  to start or has started\, but wants to revise or improve their current pr
 ogram. We will walk through the process of data evaluation from start to f
 inish—you don’t need a PhD in program evaluation to follow along\, you jus
 t need to show and take part in our conversation.
