In recent years, many have observed that nonprofit organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their effectiveness and document their program outcomes, as the current political and funding environment continues to stress the importance of accountability and measuring performance. Foundations, government agencies, and other funders are asking nonprofit organizations for more evaluation and performance measurement data. Yet, most nonprofit organizations continue to struggle with these demands, and many lack the capacity to implement evaluation and performance measurement in comprehensive or meaningful ways. 000327114 650_0 $$aEducational evaluation$$zUnited States. 000327114 650_0 $$aNonprofit organizations$$xEducation$$zUnited States. 000327114 7001_ $$aCarman, Joanne G. 000327114 7001_ $$aFredericks, Kimberly A. 000327114 7102_ $$aAmerican Evaluation Association. 000327114 85200 $$bgen$$hH62.A1$$iN4$$ino.119 000327114 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:327114$$pGLOBAL_SET 000327114 980__ $$aBIB 000327114 980__ $$aBOOK
