United Way of Larimer County recently launched a new Data Dashboard featuring funded nonprofits’ program outcomes. What does that mean? We want to know how programs are working in the community – how we’re making a difference and if we are really helping people’s education, self-sufficiency, and well-being. The dashboard is on a shared site with Larimer County’s Department of Health and Environment and provides a comprehensive look at 39 of United Way’s funded organizations’ program outcomes.

The data dashboard helps United Way in a number of ways. Our Board of Directors and Community Impact staff wanted a way to track how United Way's funded nonprofits were assisting community members, and we wanted a tool agencies could share with other funding sources, their board members, and stakeholders.

The dashboard’s purpose is to:

• Help the public monitor and learn more about programs United Way funds in the areas of Youth & Education and Financial Stability.
• Share data with funding partners, donors, and other stakeholders in a centralized, easy to find location.
• Demonstrate collaboration and community-wide initiatives that help families.
• Identify program gaps that United Way could be funding.
• Track data over time to improve low performing programs or scale high performing programs.
