Klass Strategies - Outcome Measurement

By: Klass Strategies  11/22/2011
Keywords: Funding Sources

Understanding the impact of services on community well-being is central to managing nonprofit organizations. Without this understanding, an organization can not identify appropriate service goals or acquire new sources of funding. Most funding sources require ever more detailed reporting of outcomes to justify the services funded.

Klass Strategies specializes in scaling measurement services to accommodate the limited funding usually available for this purpose. Special skills include: analysis of customer perceptions, assessment of degree of community impact, development of performance measures, use of secondary measures, online survey tools and focus groups.  Assessment services can be packaged in several configurations according to client needs:

  • Program/project evaluation
  • Client satisfaction analysis
  • Needs assessment
  • Management/performance audit
  • Management/performance indicator system
  • Outcome measurement training

Klass Strategies - Retreats & Training

Training events focus on imparting knowledge and developing skills while retreats promote thorough exploration of issues, problem-solving and decision-making by organization participants themselves. Training and retreat facilitation can be provided as complete stand alone services or as components of more extensive consulting activities such as board renewal and strategic planning.

Klass Strategies - For Nonprofits

Because of our focus on very small to medium organizations, we help nonprofits achieve this status by providing our services in a synergistic fashion, getting the greatest leverage possible from scarce resources, staff, board time, and funds. We usually provide services using multiple modes at once, adjusting the mix as appropriate during the consulting engagement to best meet client needs.

Klass Strategies - Strategic Planning

While perceived lack of an adequate board my cause nonprofits to postpone planning, an effective planning process can identify which roles are missing from the board and attract prospective candidates to an organization. Many nonprofits want a strategic plan because it is expected by funding sources and it provides a rational foundation for fund raising.

Klass Strategies - Revenue Diversification

Many nonprofits contact consultants for "grant writing," believing that a one-time large infusion of new cash is equivalent to winning the lottery. Seeking new sources and combinations of funding is an ongoing process necessary for the survival of most nonprofits. Usually much broader services are required, involving expansion or initiation of several types of fund raising.

Klass Strategies - Community Relations

We can help you make effective use of many specific disciplines for strengthening community relations, including communications, marketing, public relations and advertising. Strong community awareness is a foundation for effective fund raising and should be a component of every strategic plan. Our team has extensive experience working successfully inside and outside of the government policy-making process.

Klass Strategies - Board Renewal

To address these challenges, we provide tailored assessment, training, coaching and retreat facilitation, usually resulting in swift and surprisingly powerful improvement in the motivation and commitment of board members. Board work with nonprofits can be one of the most rewarding activities a citizen can pursue, but it is frequently disappointing and draining.
