Closing the Evaluation Gap

In this Stanford Social Innovation Review article, Dr. Kim Sabo Flores, CEO of Hello Insight, argues that, “the gap between those organizations that have access to high-quality evaluations and those that do not mirrors and exacerbates the inequities already experienced by the communities that these nonprofits serve.”

Dr. Sabo Flores provides the rationale for using shared measurement platforms to bridge this gap. She discusses the impetus for creating Hello Insight and the deep commitment to supporting communities often left out simply because they don't have the resources to collect data and study their impact. Dr. Sabo Flores argues that, by working as a community, evaluation can become more accessible and compelling, shedding new light on each young person's unique path to thriving.

“When information is gathered from and valued by all stakeholders, organizations can unearth new insights, understandings, and solutions that will produce sustained, informed, and equitable social change.”
