The National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts is the national service organization for a diverse constituency of non-profit organizations providing arts education.
On their useful site, in an otherwise excellent article written before the current ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE, we get introduced to the facts of life regarding Program Evaluation. It's tough love for us, buddy, and we should all take our cues from Wall Street:
"Our culture is increasingly interested in outcomes and accountability. From Wall Street to the school board, leaders demand information about the effectiveness and efficiency of all aspects of work. "Funders, in particular, now require assurance that their investment in a venture is yielding results and that the parties involved have responsibly deployed financial and human resources. In response, nonprofit organization and school administrators have scrambled to learn how to develop, design, and implement program evaluations, or to find the funds to engage an outside evaluator."
I am laughing so hard right now through my tears.
