Data Collection Plan

Project details

What we need
  • A set of key metrics to regularly track
  • Spreadsheet tool to collect data on key metrics with accompanying tables and graphs for analysis
  • Training for best practices on data collection
  • Training on how to use the spreadsheet and analyze key metrics
  • Note: This project does not include data entry or analysis
Additional details

We are looking to create a comprehensive data system, seeking help with the first stage of this process. The ideal outcome is a comprehensive data input and management system for the organization's programs which will allow us to compile and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as synthesize the information to examine program growth and impact.

What we have in place
  • The first phase of this project will be to assess which of MLKFS's programs can be tracked effectively with data. This will include a review of the current data being collected, and an assessment of what information can and should be captured.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,868 , allowing us to build a data ecosystem for MLKFS.

This project will help us use the data we have collected to improve our programs and broaden the scope of our services. It will also help us more concretely demonstrate our impact to partners, supporters and program participants.
