Is a survey the best way for your organization to get feedback from participants? Will a focus group meet my needs? How do I put together an evaluation plan anyway?

At this information-packed Wilder Research workshop, you'll learn how to intentionally select the right evaluation methods for your organization or program’s needs and how to make your existing data collection work for you.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • How to select a data collection method that will best answer your research questions
  • Ways to connect the dots between the methods you choose and the outcomes you are trying to measure
  • Appropriate measures for effective sampling

You’ll leave with increased knowledge of basic evaluation methodologies, and an evaluation plan template to get you started.

Cost: $100

About the workshop series

Evaluation is one way for your organization to reflect on your work, make changes to better achieve the outcomes you want, and communicate the impact of your work to funders and other stakeholders.

Wilder Research evaluation workshops help build or polish your evaluation skills and equip you with the tools and resources to do evaluation at your organization.

Who should attend?

These trainings are for nonprofit, foundation, and government staff and volunteers who are interested in building a foundational set of skills in program evaluation. Whether you already use some evaluation tools in your work or have no experience with evaluation, we’ll showcase practical approaches for incorporating evaluation into your work.
