SUMMARY:Better Data\, Better Stories
DESCRIPTION:This series is being offered by Montana Nonprofit Association.\n\nMarch 4th\, 11th\, 18th\, & 25th  1:00 PM – 2:15 PM\n\nRegistration Fees: $95 for individual members/$175 for member organization or $190 for individual nonmembers/$350 for nonmember organizations.   \nWVNPA members only need to select the member rate when registering – be sure to provide your state when asked for registration to verify. \nREGISTER NOW\nMany nonprofits spend years missing opportunities because they lack compelling data to tell the story of their work. Over the course of four sessions\, participants will develop their impact statements\, data strategy\, and supporting documentation\, so they can confidently communicate the value of their work. The training takes a hand-ons approach and centers equity\, efficiency and nonprofits’ core need to fund their critical work. \nAudience: Nonprofit organizations\, whether newborn or 100 years old who: \n\nAre looking for a compelling and efficient way to communicate their impact\nMiss funding opportunities because they lack a Logic Model\, Theory of Change\, or concise and compelling language to describe how their program makes a difference\nStruggle to communicate the importance of their work\, or notice staff\, board and partners all talk about their impact differently\nHave a piecemeal data strategy that does speak to overall organizational strategy\nCollect data\, but don’t use it\nDon’t know where to start when it comes to data and evaluation\n\nWorkshop Objectives: As a participant you will… \n\nUse an Impact Statement approach to clearly and succinctly communicate the critical work of your organization \nCreate a Logic Model that serves as a programmatic roadmap and can be used when applying for funding and evaluating impact \nAssess your current data strategy and choose new/existing metrics that are equitable\, feasible and in alignment with your Impact Statements and Logic Model \nDevelop a plan to implement your new strategies \n\nCourse Schedule\n\n\nMarch 4th | Session 1: Impact Statements for Nonprofits \nDescription: Nonprofits are often pressured to provide data that proves their impact\, but the vast majority don’t have the resources to conduct rigorous studies or otherwise document their long-term impacts.  An impact statement approach helps nonprofits build off existing research to explain their impact. During this session we’ll learn the impact statement approach\, move through a series of hands-on examples\, and teams will begin to build out their impact statements. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nUnderstand an Impact Statement Approach and how to apply it to your organization or program\nDefine the problem your organization or program exists to solve\nIdentify your program’s solution\nAnalyze existing research and models\nCreate an Impact Statement for your organization or program \n\n\n\nMarch 11th | Session 2: Create Your Aligned Logic Model\nWhile Impact Statements are incredible at clearly and succinctly communicating your organization’s big picture impact\, logic models help us drill down into the everyday work of running a program. They are roadmaps with step-by-step directions from program inputs to long-term impacts. Often\, logic models are required for grant applications or reporting and then left in a virtual folder\, collecting figurative dust. That’s a huge waste! When done effectively\, Logic Models are powerful roadmaps that keep our work focused\, help us continually improve our program’s effectiveness and help us prioritize our resources. During this session we’ll build off the work of session one and dig into how your organization does its everyday work to achieve results. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nLearn how a logic model can be used as a program or organizational roadmap \nUnderstand the different parts of a logic model and how to effectively write them\nAnalyze any current logic models (if relevant) and/or create new logic models to represent your program or organization \n\n\n\n\n\nMarch 18th | Session 3: Plan Measurement and Data Collection \nDuring the last two weeks\, by virtue of creating clear Impact Statements and Logic Models\, we’ve set ourselves up to identify the key metrics most essential for evaluating our program’s effectiveness and impact. During this session we’ll work from our logic models to evaluate how your currently collected data aligns with your new data strategy\, and what additional metrics are now needed. This session will have a strong focus on equitable data collection practices\, while also emphasizing what is feasible and efficient for nonprofits. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how to use your logic model and impact statement to create an aligned data strategy\nEvaluate whether current metrics align with your impact model \nChoose metrics for your data strategy considering equity\, feasibility and alignment \n\n\n\nMarch 25th | Session 4: Implementation & Sustainability \nA data strategy is only useful if it’s used. During the final session\, we’ll focus on application and implementation\, so teams are well set-up to continue implementing their new tools\, and use their data strategy for fundraising\, grant reporting\, communications/raising awareness\, legislative advocacy\, learning and program improvement\, program evaluation and more. This session will emphasize planning and include identifying and problem-solving around potential barriers\, planning for additional team/stakeholder involvement\, and identifying any next steps around data collection\, storage and use. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nDevelop a plan to ensure your new strategy is implemented/shared and used by your organization \n\n\nThink through next steps to build off the work you’ve completed thus-far\, including relating to needed data collection\nReflect on lessons learned and celebrate successes of the group\n\nRegistration Includes: \n\n4 live\, 75 minute sessions (recorded)\nTemplates\, bonus exercises to involve teams who aren’t attending live\, and other references and resources for participants who want to dig deeper\n\nCourse Instructor\n\n\nLily Sussman (she/her)\nLily is the owner and director of LAS Visions LLC. She specializes in supporting organizations to develop practical and effective data and evaluation strategies that quantify their work\, demonstrate their impact\, and raise awareness and funding.
