While the sector has yet to implement a standard for how to measure impact, many have attempted to do so in their own organizations. This study explores ways in which nonprofit organizations might evaluate their impact utilizing the framework of interdependence theory, including three measurements: financial stability, partnerships, and program evaluation. Results demonstrate that participating nonprofits continue to face challenges in assessments, though some also expressed understanding of more nuanced forms of evaluation. While understanding these results may not create implications for the sector, they can help understand how nonprofits might generate improved assessments and be more efficient in creating long-lasting impacts.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Nonprofit sectorGovernmentInterdependence theoryPerformance measuresCase studyThesis/Dissertation0009-0003-1790-5041
