The RI Evidence Collective aims to provide organizations with the skills and resources to effectively share their stories of impact:

• Sector-wide Knowledge Contributions: Develop tangible deliverables that will strengthen approaches to supporting RI nonprofits while building evaluation skills in the process.
• Collaboratively-Developed Tools: Co-create evaluation instruments and strategies that are responsive to evolving program and funding landscapes.
• A Powerful Peer Network: A dedicated space to reflect, problem-solve, and partner with peers who share your mission to scale impact.
• Individualized Technical Assistance: Receive 45 minutes of 1:1 support every other week, tailored to your organization’s specific needs and evaluation challenges.
