Featured learning and development project
The Social Impact Collaborative equips William Penn Foundation grantees with the information, skills, and tools they need to use data to drive improvement and share their stories with key stakeholders in the Philadelphia community and beyond.
During the first year of the program, each participating grantee selects a program, project, campaign, or initiative to be the focus of their participation in the Social Impact Collaborative. They develop or refine a logic model and aligned set of indicators for tracking impact, design a plan for data collection and analysis, and create a strategy for communicating about impact with diverse stakeholders. In the second year of the program, grantees apply these evaluation and learning practices organization-wide.
