As non-profit organisations in Australia are developing a range of strategies to more effectively measure the impact of their work, funding bodies (both government and non-government) are requiring a complex array of data on service provision.
There are major opportunities and challenges in this environment. Are we on the cusp of developing a more rigorous Australian evidence base about what works, or are we drowning in complex data reporting requirements that tells us very little?
In this interactive session, The Benevolent Society and The Smith Family will share their experiences of strategies to effectively measure social impact.
