They listen to the people they serve, act on what they hear, and learn from their actions, improving their organizations and amplifying their impact. It’s a cycle of progress: Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nonprofit effectiveness shouldn’t be too academic, unrealistic, or removed from our missions to matter! In fact, starting a cycle of progress at your nonprofit, wherever you are and whatever you do, can be easy, whether you save forests, build houses, or something else (equally amazing). <\/p>\n

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how a cycle of progress could look at your nonprofit:<\/p>\n

Listen<\/strong>
\n\u2014 To the people you serve
\n\u2014 To what is working for others
\n\u2014 To the best research<\/p>\n

Act<\/strong>
\n\u2014 Try something new
\n\u2014 See what happens
\n\u2014 Measure the results<\/p>\n

Learn<\/strong>
\n\u2014 What worked and what failed
\n\u2014 What should change
\n\u2014 What to do differently<\/p>\n

Repeat<\/strong>
\n\u2014 Integrate what works
\n\u2014 Try a new experiment
\n\u2014 Continuously improve your impact<\/p>\n
