Identify Success Metrics
Project details
What we need
- A set of success metrics for the Organization's program such as key performance indicators and secondary performance indicators
- Guidelines on how to measure success metrics, how often to measure them, and how to present metrics to internal and external stakeholders
What we have in place
- We have two program staff, one who is comfortable with SPSS, who can participate in this project. As I previously mentioned, we also have a terrific, solid instrument for baseline and follow-up surveys at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-funding.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,240 , allowing us to quantify, measure and analyze metrics of success among approximately 75 young adult cancer survivors per grant cycle (2 cycles per year).
We currently have a logic model and a shiny new instrument to measure the key indicators for our direct financial assistance program. However, we need some help quantifying our specific metrics for success and creating a data plan for once the data has been collected. It's critical to our growth that we be able to share our impact with our community and donors. Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Our mission
The Samfund is designed to help young adults recover from the financial impact of cancer treatment.
What we do
The Samfund currently provides three programs to help young adults get back on their feet after treatment:
1. Direct financial assistance: since 2005, close to $1.5 million in grants has been awarded to young adults across the country, covering a wide range of needs including living expenses, medical expenses, mental and physical health and wellness, family-building, and many more.
2. Online support: The Samfund hosts a free Webinar series called "Moving Forward With Your Financial Health," designed to provide concrete and reliable information and resources surrounding a range of practical and financial issues, including employment, insurance, medical debt and more. Webinar presentations are made by financial professionals as well as representatives from other cancer organizations.
3. Finances 101: A toolkit for young adults with cancer: Launched at the end of 2014, this new program is designed to help young adults make better-informed financial decisions during and after cancer treatment so that their financial recovery doesn't become a lifelong struggle. The toolkit is currently comprised of blog posts and Webinars on selected topics, and we are currently in the process of designing an interactive decision-making tool that will be housed on our website.
Through these programs, The Samfund helps young adults get back on their feet so that they can move forward towards their goals.

Testimonials
Kerry has been a phenomenal partner in this project. She brought some wonderful past evaluation experience to the table, and helped us rethink what we had originally thought was a ready-to-go instrument, and has made it infinitely stronger.
