“Chari Smith has written a comprehensive guide to do-it-yourself evaluation. She’s realistic about what non-profits are getting themselves into, providing expert advice clearly grounded in years of experience. Evaluation IS a large undertaking – and one that will change an organization’s culture for the better. Chari breaks down the steps of the process and makes it feel accomplishable. The many success stories from non-profit leaders throughout the book testify that evaluation doesn’t have to be intimidating and can, in fact, help change the world.”

The book offers many practical tips that will help your organization improve results.”
– Beth Kanter, Virtual Facilitator, Trainer, & Author (www.bethkanter.org)
