Welcome to our new resource section for nonprofit staff and funders! First, we must highlight the resources available in the wide range of organizations the Eva Foundation has been privileged to support over the past years. Here is a list of the organizations that have participated with us, a link to their websites, and brief descriptions of what they do.
Because most of these community organizations are in San Francisco, this resource section for the time being mostly focuses on San Francisco. However, the Foundation hopes to provide similar resources for our community organizations serving Alameda County, the South Bay, and the North Bay, so stay tuned! Please contact Laura Rosbrow, Eva Foundation Collaboration Coordinator, if you know of more resources that should be listed here.
Research and Information about Related Programs, Trainings, and Best Practices
For all Nonprofit Staff and Funders
Girls Resources
This site is run through Kiva.org, and is a great model for how to increase awareness of girls’ issues internationally. Let us think about how we can adapt this for girls in the Bay Area and the United States! To give your ideas, comment on our blog post!
Girls Inc’s national website has great statistics on issues that affect girls nationally.
This is a useful site to gather census data more easily than the US Census Bureau.
This website provides best practices research, trainings, and materials for staff working with girls.
Boston Girls Coalition is a like-minded organization that helps adults supporting girls work together to encourage the healthy development of girls.
Nonprofit and Foundation Capacity Building Resources
This project has several useful guides for financing and sustaining youth programs, including the following:
They provide professional development and leadership trainings.
A great website that has program development, community organizing, and advocacy planning resources for leaders of community based organizations.
A new evaluation measurement tool for both foundations and nonprofits. It serves as a working logic model and ongoing process evaluation that can be tracked online.
Another evaluation measure that focuses more on outcome measurements. Many large organizations are starting to use this, including First Place for Youth.
For San Francisco
The Eva Gunther Foundation created this document so that girls programs in San Francisco can share this data in their grant writing and research on girls and the nonprofits that serve them. It provides statistics on the number of girls in San Francisco, school enrollment, after school enrollment, poverty, youth of color, the number of at risk youth that are involved in foster care, have parents that are incarcerated, drop out of school, are pregnant, and are involved in the juvenile justice system. Additionally, this document provides a landscape for the amount of funding going toward youth programs, and the number and types of girls programs in San Francisco. *Depending on interest, we could create this for the other counties Eva grantee organizations serve. But we figured we would start with San Francisco.
The San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women’s Girls Committee partnered with Assemblywoman Fiona Ma’s office to put together the Service Directory for Girls. This lists the majority of girls programs that offer social services.
This is the most comprehensive resource directory in San Francisco to find other nonprofits. It lists about 283 youth programs.
This site is meant to help parents find programs for their kids. But nonprofit staff and funders could also use it for similar purposes.
