Webinar: Theories of Action and Logic Models for Program Evaluation
Capturing and communicating all the moving parts in complex community initiative can be a challenge. Madison Community Foundation hosted a webinar with Annalee Good and Anthony Hernandez from the Wisconsin Center for Education Research to help nonprofit organizations understand two tools for making the components of an initiative and their relationship to one another explicit. These tools can also be used to help funders deepen their understanding of community issues and strategies for change.
Webinar: Introduction to Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation
Evaluation is critical for understanding the impact of nonprofit work, but it can often feel like burdensome paperwork generation, superficial number crunching, or even exploitative data collection. How can evaluation be done in more meaningful and equitable ways? Madison Community Foundation hosted a webinar with Annalee Good and Anthony Hernandez from the Wisconsin Center for Education Research to help answer this question using an approach called Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation (CREE). This approach can be effective for nonprofits, funders and community members alike to learn about what’s really going on and be a mechanism for pursuing social change and justice.
