Lucy Stone Measuring your Impact: Making the most of your evaluation and monitoring for your fundraising
Online

It is vital that people and organisations we ask to support our work understand what impact their donations will have. Evaluation, monitoring and impact measurement are essential tools for fundraising. Do you know your outputs from your outcomes? Are you unsure what you need to measure and what people might be interested in? Do you collect lots of information but aren't sure what to do? Do you want to use your data, case studies and stories more effectively in your fundraising?
