Developing a Culture of Evaluation: Research Summary Report
The first phase of the Developing a Culture of Evaluation project was dedicated to increasing our understanding of the current evaluation environment in Ontario’s small non-profits. To this end we explored the practices of Ontario’s small non-profits when it comes to measuring and reporting on programs, projects and overall activities. In an attempt to have diverse representation from across Ontario, we gathered feedback through pre-arranged key informant interviews (telephone conversations) and through an open online provincial survey. Participation in these interviews and in the provincial survey was voluntary. Participant responses are anonymous and shared through aggregate data.
