NPO Frameworks Part 1: Capture and Assess Data for Impact Measurement

By | Case Management, Data Management, Operations and Development

Have you asked yourself: How should we think about operational improvements in our organization, given that there are so many moving parts? Over the next 3 weeks I’ll be looking at how to capture and assess data, implement operational improvements to help your project succeed and, perhaps most importantly, I’ll wrap up with how to engage your internal stakeholders to keep your project on track.

My colleague Stefanie Archer came up with the Hierarchy of Nonprofit Operations as a result of our work with a wide range of NPOs.  Riffing on Maslow’s Hierarchy, Stefanie’s Hierarchy argues that nonprofits – indeed, all organizations – go through the same progression with their operational practices. This post presents three different ways to read this model and interpret it when considering any systems improvement activity.

The Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund awards qualified students with renewable academic scholarships. To qualify for these awards, students must demonstrate financial need, academic achievement and a commitment to community service. The Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund sought out 501Partners to help implement a more effective Salesforce strategy for managing their student applications. Throughout our engagement with the Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund, we simplified their processes with our Applicant Manager app and helped them use Salesforce to maximize the efficiency of their database.

United Planet is an organization whose mission is to “create a world in which all people understand, respect and support one another.” One of United Planet’s most popular programs sends volunteers abroad to over 35 countries for anywhere from one week to one year. As part of our engagement with United Planet, we helped them implement Salesforce from the beginning, while training their staff to be proficient in the tool. We are involved in a “phase two” with United Planet that will help them grow and improve their organization via their Salesforce instance.

Food for Free is a great organization which rescues fresh food that might otherwise go to waste, and distributes it to those in need via the local emergency food system. During our Discovery process, a need for electronic food tracking was assessed. Because Food for Free is such a large organization, distributing more than 1 million pounds of food per year, the paper-based system they had long relied on was quickly becoming outdated. Our engagement with Food for Free resulted in the implementation of our Food Manager app. Now, Food for Free can track their food intake and distribution from mobile devices with real time roll-up into Salesforce. Watch the video to learn more about 501Partners’ work with this amazing nonprofit.
