The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa and the R.J. McElroy Trust are co-presenting a FREE webinar for nonprofits:
LISTEN UP! How Feedback Can Accelerate Nonprofit Growth and Impact
Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 1-2pm
The Leighty Community Room of the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa (3117 Greenhill Circle, Cedar Falls)
A growing chorus of social sector players are advocating for a greater emphasis on “listening”—engaging customers or beneficiaries to better identify areas for improvement in programs or services. Gathering feedback not only provides a valuable stream of insight on program effectiveness, but also gives dignity and respect to constituents. Many feedback tools can be introduced to an organization’s existing measurement processes with nominal effort and minimal cost, making it not only the right thing to do, but also smart and feasible to add to your organization’s program evaluation operations.
