In this free workshop, you’ll learn the difference between outputs and outcomes, when each matters, and how to (accurately) measure them for most impactful results.

Meet The Mark USA
We are invested in our clients as partners. Through collaboration, our work catalyzes financial sustainability and opens doors to new funding networks.
Evaluation is an important tool that you and educational institutions use to demonstrate the results of your work. It is used to demonstrate your contributions and the progress made to key stakeholders that decide whether to fund or continue to fund your work. It is used to demonstrate your contributions and the progress of such to key stakeholders that decide whether to fund or continue to fund your work. At The Mark USA, we walk alongside you as an evaluation partner, providing you with an evaluation plan that systematically maps out our clear methodological approach for collecting, analyzing, and using information or data to answer critical questions about your program. It is our primary objective to help you not only get funded, but continue to obtain consistent ongoing sustainable funding that elevates the results of your work.
In today’s nonprofit environment, funders, foundations, and donors all want to support programs that can demonstrate impact. Along with this desire comes more measurement and reporting requirements intended to paint a picture of program outcomes. While stories and anecdotes can evoke an emotional connection and give a human face to your success, for the maximum effect, they need to be backed by concrete data.
The Mark USA has deep expertise in helping businesses operate more effectively, efficiently, and profitably. We help provide the data framework that helps individuals easily implement and apply data to every day decision-making. We come up with a comprehensive data strategy that focuses on outcomes, not output. From there, we help you implement the data strategy with the proper data tools that measure and demonstrate the social returns of your invested resources, so you can properly deploy resources where they are needed most and achieve maximum results.
We contract directly and indirectly with government agencies – not only helping to share specific work from different projects with the government to assist in decision-making, but also help improve and advance evidence-based decision-making based upon evaluation methodologies. This involves getting more involved in both data and technology, while helping to protect data sources. It also involves cross-sector input and advice.
