Democratizing Nonprofit Evaluation Cohort

Building the capacity of nonprofit organizations to develop and implement evaluation strategies

We are thrilled to announce our second Nonprofit Evaluation Cohort at AMPT: Advancing Nonprofits in collaboration with the Praxis Institute!

The Praxis Institute is a versatile and multicultural team with years of experience and life lessons from working with the not for profit sector, government, academia, schools, and community based organizations. They are educators, youth workers, racial healing practitioners, artists, coaches, activists, evaluators, researchers, and not for profit leaders. Praxis works with partners who are justice oriented and committed to high quality youth and community programming. Their hands-on approach is inclusive of all stakeholders and is grounded in the application of anti-racist, healing-centered, research based and participatory engagement strategies.

Testimonials

Our Impact

  • “This cohort helped me see that taking baby steps towards a more democratic evaluation approach in my org is possible and needed. Learning from other leaders in the work, hearing about similar struggles and questions, and contributing to collective solutions was a great experience.”

    2022 Cohort Member

  • “Our organization is relatively young and we kind of felt that we weren't ready for the cohort. In time and in coaching, we were able to see that it isn't a competition and that every organization is at different places and come from many different backgrounds and situations. The cohort really gave us the reassurance and support to understand and move forward.”

  • “We learned more than the mechanical aspects of evaluations. The content inserted social/emotional support; centered decolonized frameworks. It was an affirming space.”
