Nonprofit Capacity Building Through Program Evaluation: The Nonprofit Institute Professional Evaluation Program

Oregon Health Authority (OHA) partnered with the Nonprofit Institute at Portland State University (NPI) to deliver content related to receiving a professional certificate in program evaluation. Thirty nine individuals applied for this opportunity, and 34 individuals were accepted from the nonprofit organizations who work in the areas related to human services, health care, and public health. The program held 8 online synchronous sessions during January-May 2022 where course content was delivered and group work was completed. In between sessions, participants had access to a learning mentor who had a total of 57 meetings with participants.
