Creative Evaluation Methods

Creative Evaluation Methods

Online event
Wednesday, May 20  •  12 PM - 1 PM PDT
Overview

Join us to rethink impact measurement with participatory methods that go beyond surveys.

Are traditional surveys only telling part of the story? This webinar invites nonprofit leaders, funders, and community organizers to explore a richer, more responsive approach to measuring impact, one that centers the people you serve and surfaces what truly matters.

Led by Gabby McCullough, Research Associate and member of the Mockingbird Analytics evaluation team, this session introduces practical, participatory methods designed to go beyond checkboxes and close-ended responses. You will learn how to capture lived experience, build deeper community trust, and turn evaluation into a genuine tool for organizational learning, not just a reporting requirement.

Through cross-sector case studies, you will see firsthand how organizations are designing evaluation processes that are more equitable, more insightful, and more actionable. Whether you are leading programs, designing funding strategies, or looking for better ways to understand your impact, you will leave with fresh, applicable ideas you can put into practice right away.

What you will walk away with:

  • Participatory evaluation frameworks you can adapt to your context
  • Techniques for capturing community voice and lived experience
  • Cross-sector case studies showing methods in action
  • Strategies to make evaluation a tool for learning, not just compliance
