Abstract

The traditional approach to measuring each individual grant and nonprofit initiative separately prevents learning and improvement, because no 2 efforts can be compared on a consistent basis. This research highlights 20 social enterprises that developed innovative web-based approaches to evaluate their impact across multiple programs and stakeholders.

Keywords
