The Sturgis Area Community Foundation is seeking to develop a Quality-of-Life dashboard that identifies key community performance indicators and develops a shared system of measurement for the St. Joseph County area, with the ability to disaggregate data at the local level. By identifying key performance indicators and a shared system of measurement, SACF intends to foster inter-agency, community-wide ownership of the indicators established through this process. SACF will conduct a 9-month community engagement process to identify, categorize, and prioritize existing data; translate that data in a user-friendly way to share with the community; develop tools for interpretation; and train SACF staff to maintain, update, and share the data. This funding will allow SACF to better integrate evaluation activities into their decision-making process, increase community collaboration and organizational alignment to key indicators, and help SACF establish a framework to sustain long-term operational improvements.
