Community-based nonprofits must be nimble, strategic, and effective in addressing major social problems with limited time and resources. The most high-impact nonprofits harness data and build systems to evaluate their impact, learn, and adapt. Yet many local nonprofits lack the tools and expertise to do this work and translate learning into action. The diverse nonprofits below have graduated from the first Impact Lab, a rigorous 18-month program launched by the Sobrato Family Foundation to support a select cohort of nonprofits seeking to hone their evaluation skills. They have demonstrated their commitment to data-informed strategy and continuous learning to deepen their community impact. By supporting any or all of the nonprofits below, you can support high-impact, data-driven nonprofits providing life-changing opportunities to the residents of Silicon Valley.
