In LA, there are two amazing nonprofits, both looking for support with our new Program Measurement Service Grant.
First, LA’s Promise is working to radically improve the education, health and social outcomes for thousands of youth in one South Los Angeles community. Program evaluation and outcome measurement is a priority right now as LA’s Promise focuses on refining the allocation and application of their resources.

Program Measurement is a popular need with our New York nonprofits as well. One nonprofit, Junior Achievement of New York, teaches students from kindergarten through high school about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Their New York chapter serves tens of thousands of students and started the High School Heroes program, where 11th and 12th graders actually teach the lessons they’re learned to young people in their community. They want to quantify the impact of High School Heroes on student-volunteers.
