Master Class: Theory of Change

The Equitable Recovery Wallet’s two-part master class series on Theories of Change (TOC) will provide hands-on experience for change agents who are interested in exploring the development of a programmatic or organizational TOC. Over the course of two 90-minute sessions, participants will develop the foundational knowledge needed to understand best practices on how to engage their organizations in the development of a TOC, including steps in the TOC development process, stakeholder engagement, and key research, process and learning considerations.

Participants will also receive access to tools and templates that they will use to practice developing core ingredients of the TOC, including the problem statement, population of focus, activities and/or outcomes. Please note you should only register for the master classes if you are able to attend both sessions.

Demystifying Data System Decisions for Nonprofits

Does your nonprofit need a new data system, but you aren’t sure where to start? Join us for a 60-minute introduction to demystify the who, what, how, and when of data system selection and implementation for nonprofits. In short, you will learn the fundamentals of how to assess your current data system processes to surface new (or revised) data system needs.
Implementing a new data system requires significant thinking beforehand, but knowing where to start isn’t clear. We’ll discuss several diagnostic exercises to assess your organization’s current processes, define data system goals, explore options, and define systems’ requirements. These exercises will help articulate your organization’s intentions and readiness for a new or revised data system before selection and implementation.
