Arlington Life Shelter

The Arlington Life Shelter was chosen as one of ten DFW non-profit organizations to participate in the CNM-pact Academy, a partnership program between CNM and Alliance Data. The program is intended to work with non-profit organizations to help ensure they collect and interpret program performance data to act on the information to the ultimate benefit of those they serve. As participants in the Academy, Arlington Life Shelter will have access to the CNM-pact evaluation tool, expert evaluation consultants, and customized training in outcomes and evaluation.

CNM is an organization that aims to strengthen communities by working with non-profits to focus on results through management and strategic data expertise and leading edge technology. The CNM-pact tool gives nonprofits the ability to efficiently and effectively track, analyze, evaluate, and report outcomes. Funders expect nonprofits to achieve meaningful outcomes, so it is critical for nonprofits to accurately track their performance and tell their story.

Tracking performance in nonprofits can take significant time, cutting into the resources needed to provide services to the community. By participating in the CNM-pact Academy, the Arlington Life Shelter will have access to the expertise and resources to easily track service and tell the story about their work in Arlington and attract new sources of funding to serving the least.
