Outcome Evaluation

Documenting Program Impact for a Worldwide Nonprofit Organization

Client Profile
International educational nonprofit organization needed evidence of overall program and individual-level impact for one of their initiatives receiving over $1 million annually from a corporate sponsor.

Challenge/Situation
Quick turnaround time required for an evaluation of an international program involving thousands of young people in over 40 counties.

Services Provided
EVALCORP designed an evaluation plan, and developed and administered an online evaluation tool to gather feedback from program participants relative to five key indicators: perceived satisfaction; information and skills learned; influence of the program on participants’ decisions; motivating factors for ongoing program participation; and recommendations for improvement. In less than three weeks, EVALCORP completed the evaluation and prepared a succinct yet comprehensive report for presentation to the program’s funder.

Results/Value Added
As a result of the evaluation, the client organization was able to successfully deliver evidence to their corporate sponsor that their initiative served not only as a highly valuable learning experience for participants, but also that it contributed to their overall personal development. Following a highly successful meeting with their corporate sponsor to review the evaluation report, the client organization contracted with EVALCORP to develop additional reports for delivery at their annual conference. The program continues to receive funding each year.
