Evaluation

As entities that serve the public, nonprofit organizations have an obligation to demonstrate their value to the public. The public has a stage in nonprofit performance and is entitles to information regarding organization results. Nonprofits should regularly measure their performance against a clear set of goals and should share such information with their constituents. Nonprofit evaluation should be appropriate to the size and purpose of the organization, and evaluation data should be used to continually improve the quality of processes, programs and activities.
