Data & Evaluation

DATA &

EVALUATION

Family League promotes data-driven, collaborative initiatives to create lasting outcomes for children, families and communities.

We use Results-Based Accountability (RBA) to monitor our partners’ performance and our own. This framework guides programs to understand how much we are doing, how well we are doing it, and ultimately if participants are better off because of the work programs do. This approach aids the organization and the partners with which we work to better tell the story of our work.

HOW WE SUPPORT FUNDED PARTNERS

DATA REQUIREMENTS

Our team will assist partners in drafting performance measures, provide data collection tools such as surveys, trackers, and forms, and assist with how to collect, manage, and calculate the data.

GROW YOUR CAPACITY

We look forward to helping your organization grow its data and evaluation capacity through professional development workshops, writing research questions for your own evaluations, sharing about your impact, developing maps, graphs, reports and more!

RESULTS BASED ACCOUNTABILITY

We use Results Based Accountability (RBA) framework to understand and learn from data and measure performance. We meet with partners and review their data each quarter. Quarterly Turn-the-Curve conversations are included as part of exiting meetings such as cohort meetings, check-ins, site visits, etc.

WHAT WE DO

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

All Funded Partners are required to develop and report on three kinds of performance measures:

How much or how many did we do?
How well did we do it?
Is anyone better off?

REPORTING

Monthly Reports are due in FUNDINGtrack between the 1st and 5th (Oct. 5 for Sept. data). Funded Partners will upload a trackers spreadsheet for review.

Quarterly Reports are due in Fundingtrack between the 15th (Oct 15 for July-Sept) and have number and narrative. Our team will enter data from the trackers and partners follow up with a written narrative.

SURVEYS

Many of our programs collect surveys from participants. Funded Partners work with their program project manager to supply links, QR codes, and instructions. Partners get a live dashboard of results on survey Monkey in real-time and our team will share overall learnings and recommendations several months after collection.
