 Cambridge Measurement Group (CMG) is celebrating a decade of providing Evaluation Research, Development and Technical Assistance to the non-profit community. CMG was established in 2000 with a mission to provide community health programs with evaluation support and other forms of technical assistance. In 2003, CMG expanded its scope of services to respond to the needs of non-profit providers of social services, education, and the cultural arts.
During the current period of economic uncertainty, funding support has become more difficult to acquire. This has required organizations to produce more competitive grant applications. When funding is successfully acquired, it is now even more critical to demonstrate accountability in terms of measuring performance outcomes and impact. CMG provides the following services: - EVALUATION RESEARCH "Outcome" and "Performance" Measurement are buzzwords used by both the public and private sectors. Government and private grantors often decide to allocate and/or continue financial support based on measured performance outcomes and community impact. As a rule, evaluation should be conducted by a credentialed external evaluator. The Kellog Foundation Evaluation Handbook provides several helpful resources to help guide organizations consider an evaluation strategy and/or select an evaluator.
- GRANT WRITING CMG is available to write private foundation, city, state, and federal grants for your organization. Our services not only focus on writing a winning document, but may also include conducting a needs assessment, clarifying your mission goals, objectives, and designing a logic model for future evaluation projects.
- CULTURAL COMPETENCY Cultural competency is one of the main ingredients in closing disparities in health care and social services driven by ethnicity, language, and income. The principal is bi-lingual (English & Spanish) and has collaborative agreements with associates who speak two or more languages. CMG was founded with a strong responsibility towards the complex needs of underserved communities and uses principles of the National Center of Cultural Competency to guide capacity building as part of that commitment.
- NON-PROFIT START-UP ASSISTANCE
CMG can provide assistance with establishing your entity as a non-for-profit in your State. Services might include clarifying an organization's mission, goals and objectives; writing by-laws; and establishing a board of directors.
