Data Collection Plan

Project details

What we need
  • A set of key metrics to regularly track
  • Spreadsheet tool to collect data on key metrics with accompanying tables and graphs for analysis
  • Training for best practices on data collection
  • Training on how to use the spreadsheet and analyze key metrics
  • Note: This project does not include data entry or analysis
Additional details

We need a well-defined strategy and policy to collect and report on data that demonstrates the impact of our work in the community. Our organization hasn't collected data in the past.

What we have in place
  • We currently have some data, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a desire to be more disciplined about collecting data, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,868 , allowing us to deliver programs, like our emergency food pantry, youth services, adult enrichment, and community advancement.

We need to demonstrate our impact in the community to solicit support through individual contributions, corporate partnerships, and grant applications.
