Research and Reports
OneStar collaborates with leading researchers to study statistics and trends important to the nonprofit sector. We work to create access to data regarding nonprofits and community need. OneStar emphasizes the importance of measuring nonprofit effectiveness at the organizational level and across the sector. We help organizations and networks to determine their capacity, understand the metrics that affect their performance and strategize on infrastructure improvements for greater results. Rigorous, relevant data are then shared through a variety of mechanisms to build the knowledge base of the nonprofit sector in our effort to achieve impact.
