Demystifying Program Evaluation
Program evaluation: it’s important, funders and donors want it… and if you’re doing it on your own, it can be intimidating! At Orchestras Canada, we’ve committed to getting better at evaluation – and we’d like to take you along for the ride.
On Wednesday, December 8th, 2021, Orchestras Canada hosted a webinar titled Demystifying Program Evaluation as part of its Festival of Learning – Resilient Ontario Orchestras*. This session was presented by Jamie Gamble, Principal of Imprint Consulting and evaluation advisor to the Resilient Ontario Orchestras project. In this webinar, we learn together from Jamie, AND we have a candid discussion about how we’ve tried to embed evaluation throughout the Resilient Ontario Orchestras project, what we’ve learned so far, and how we’re applying our learnings to shape future member service and support.

*The Resilient Ontario Orchestras project is designed to help Ontario’s smaller budget orchestras and youth orchestras (groups with annual, pre-pandemic revenues under $500,000) access customized consulting help and resources to help them plan for a sustainable return to public performances as soon as it’s viable.
This project is made possible with generous support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is an agency of the Government of Ontario, and one of Canada’s leading granting foundations. OTF awarded $108 million to 629 projects last year to build healthy and vibrant communities in Ontario.
