Evaluation Tools Library
There is quite a bit of evaluation already happening in the EITC and free tax preparation field. In this Tools Library we have organized the tools by category and site.
Don't Re-create the Wheel! Rather than start from scratch, when seeking to evaluate you can build on what your funder colleagues and their field partners have already tested. We encourage you to review these tools, use the pieces and elements that are the most appropriate for your work and add to them to further capture the impact of your grantmaking.
Share Your Tools With Us! We encourage you to share your tools with us. If you have evaluation questions or tools that you are using with your grantees, please send us an email and we'd be glad to add them to this Tools Library.
Evaluation Tools by Category
Each page in the Tool Library contains a list of tools, descriptions of each tool, and links to tools (when available).
- Tools to Build Accountability Among Coalition Members/VITA Partner
- Tools to Increase Understanding of Clients and their Needs
- Tools to Capture and Help Improve the Volunteer Experience
