Outcome measurement resources
At United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta, we believe that evaluation is a method for not only measuring the impact we have on the community, but also for learning where we can improve our efforts. With this in mind, we have established a set of expectations for grantees around conducting evaluations and reporting results. We also offer a variety of measurement supports that are meant to strengthen grantee's capacity.
