HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR STORIES ARE REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE?
That’s a question we hear repeatedly from the individuals and organizations we work with.
However passionately they (and we) believe that one person’s story truly can drive change, it is often difficult to measure and demonstrate results.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of a research project investigating how organizations can measure the impact personal stories have on their advocacy efforts.
Living Proof Advocacy has partnered with Wilder Research, a nonprofit research and evaluation organization. Wilder has helped organizations across the country measure and increase their impact.
The goal of this project? A toolkit organizations can use to demonstrate that their storytelling advocates are indeed driving change.
We are thrilled to be working on this project with Wilder and look forward to sharing the results. Stay tuned!
