Advocacy Evaluation Guide and Nonprofit Online News
Friday, March 7th, 2008 by Teresa CrawfordI really enjoy reading the Nonprofit Online News when it pops into my inbox. Michael Gilbert always provides an eclectic mix of references, links and observations. He uses a process and style of for the newsletter which is a million times easier to read then the HTML laden versions I get from other sources. Simpler is definitely better. Check out the post he wrote on the process. Now if he would just improve the searchability of the newsletter archive!
Last week he had several tidbits that jumped out at me as interesting including reference to a recent Casey Foundation guide to measuring advocacy and policy. You can find their guide here. It contains a strong focus on the development of a theory of change, and lays out alternative ways to measure the same outcomes…which helps organizations choose the best methods to fit their organizational culture and competency.
