“Before, we were using our own home-grown tool, which was OK, but it wasn’t based on research and it was more subjective than we liked. The Participant Work Readiness Evaluation measures our core outcomes, and it was great that we could modify it to fit the specifics of our programming.” Mira Appleby Program Development Manager Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital October 2012 Newsletter

“Overall, I believe PerformWell is the most exciting new entrant to the measurement field in years. It makes it considerably easier to tackle the challenging but crucial task of understanding what and how to measure. The site was designed for nonprofit practitioners and largely avoids the off-putting measurement jargon found on most of its peers’ sites.” Matthew Forti “Worth a Look: PerformWell Performance Management Resource” Stanford Social Innovation Review
