US Census

The Census Bureau conducts surveys to provide periodic and comprehensive statistics about the nation on current facts, quality data and figures about America’s people, places, and economy. Surveys include statistics about America's changing population, housing and workforce, state and local government, public finance and public employment, a count of every resident in the U.S. every 10 years, employer businesses, industry, geography, and more. Along with collecting information about cost for the data and services provided, the survey results are critical for government programs, policies, and decision-making.

Nonprofit Program Evaluation Made Simple

This is a lovely book that simplifies all the academic program evaluation language so it can be readily used by nonprofits. This is a nice, easy book to read. A nice, easy primer in program evaluation, written for nonprofits. However, the book does assume that you know you need to do program evaluation - which most small- and medium-sized nonprofits do not really need to do. And, while she presents a section on reports, it's a little lean. This book is really great to read if you *want* to understand all the terms in program evaluation so you can do fancier impact measurement or talk with outside evaluators who are conducting a program evaluation with you.

Effective Data Storytelling

This is an AMAZING book, well researched, easy to read, about why you should combine data and narratives, and some strategies for doing just that. WARNING: The book is written for data scientists and the author, the wonderful Brent Dykes, spends the first half of the book helping them understand why they should use data inside a story and with personal narratives - rather than just presenting a bunch of numbers! As a nonprofit leader, you might want to start at Chapter 4 (all the chapters are described in the link). I incorporate a lot of Brent's work ImpactStory™ Group Coaching.
