Measuring Success
We measure outcomes across an eight-year partnership that demonstrate the organization’s expanded capacity and reach based on our partnership with them.
We know we have been successful when partners have viable programs, adequate resources, and credible systems consistently applied throughout their work.
Strategic Alignment
The vision and mission are clear for the organization and they have buy-in across stakeholders. Their strategic plan drives resourcing, planning and decision making.
People and Processes
Retention and team culture reflect strong recruiting, hiring, performance management, and compensation practices. Partners create and leverage existing networks of collaboration where they serve.
Best Practices
Partners bring expertise in their programs and utilize quantitative and qualitative data in decision-making. They demonstrate best practices in accounting and financial management along with diversity in funding.
