Your work contributes to a broader field of efforts to improve outcomes among underrepresented individuals, families, and communities. Whether you are working on housing, education, youth development, workforce development, juvenile justice, women’s rights, community organizing, or related issues, what you are learning is important not only for advancing your mission but for deepening knowledge in the wider social sector.  

Your organization’s analysis of lessons learned is valuable and merits documentation.  Writing and reporting on your organization’s progress, achievements, failures, unexpected consequences, and new or modified courses of action to pursue in the future, will help advance your efforts to address the world’s toughest social challenges.
