State of Evaluation in the Social Sector

Measurement, evaluation, and learning are hotter than ever in the social sector. Foundations and nonprofits are focused on answering the question What difference are we making? And the field of evaluation has advanced in promising ways, developing meaningful evaluation approaches to better fit the latest philanthropic and nonprofit strategies. In this session Johanna Morariu and Will Fenn shared their observations regarding the state of evaluation in the social sector drawing on their experience consulting with funders and nonprofit organizations and Innovation Network’s research publication State of Evaluation 2012: Evaluation Practice and Capacity in the Nonprofit Sector.
