摘要

This Technical Appendix report is a companion document to the report Improving Capacity among Nonprofits: Impact Study of the Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration Program. The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF), established by Congressional appropriation in 2002, is administered through the Office of Community Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services. The primary purpose of CCF is to help nonprofit organizations (NPOs) increase their organizational effectiveness, enhance their service delivery capacity, diversify their funding sources, and create collaborations to better serve those in need. The CCF Evaluation Impact Study Report includes information on the study methodology (in Appendix A of that report) and the tables illustrating the results of data analyses for the entire population of NPOs in the study (in Appendix B of that report). This Technical Appendix Report presents more detailed information on methods employed during the baseline and follow-up data collection processes and results of subgroup analysis, and includes copies of the baseline and follow-up survey instruments.
