Children's Defense Fund Evaluation Plan Research Proposal

The results of all evaluations will be used in a variety of ways to improve the programs currently operated by the Children's Defense Fund and to suggest new areas in which the development of programs would be of assistance to the Fund's overall mission of providing a "strong, effective, independent voice for all the children of America" (CDF 2010). Programs found to be less cost-effective than would be desired will be further analyzed to determine how cost savings might be achieved, with the complete scrapping of certain programs and the creation of new and similarly-targeted programs when necessary. Evaluations will also be used to determine budgeting needs for ongoing project management and implementation, resulting in more accurate projections and thus leading to more focused and more effective fundraising efforts. This leads to another important use for the results of these evaluation that, while not directly related to the specific mission of the organization, is nonetheless highly important...

The simple fact that the Children's Defense Fund is concerned with evaluating its programs and its use of donor dollars will increase the profile of the organization if properly publicized, showing that this is a non-profit organization truly committed to achieving its goals and using its resources as effectively as possible. Publicizing the positive results of evaluations and even showing how negative results are being addressed will assist still further in achieving this end.
All donors that wish to receive reports will have results made available to them upon request as soon as they are available to the organization itself. There is no reason to hide any information gleaned through these evaluations, and this type of openness will boost the organization's image in the same manner as described above.
