Community Check Box Evaluation System

HELPING BUILD COMMUNITIES

A wide range of community organizations – large and small, local and international – have one thing in common: they’ve used the Community Check Box to measure and improve the effectiveness of their work. Whatever goal or initiative you’re working on, the Check Box provides the tools you need to display your data and keep everything on track.
