Founded in 2004, Keystone Accountability is part of a growing group of organizations that are working to turn the focus onto beneficiaries.
It's an organization that is registered as a nonprofit in the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa. According to its website, it works specifically on "ways of planning, measuring and reporting social change," which are all, especially the last two, extremely important when it comes to getting and sustaining funding -- not to mention how your client, consumer and/or service base will consider that data.
Some of Keystone Accountability's services include feedback systems, performance surveys, evaluation system design and consulting services. They're currently partnered with some of the biggest foundations in the world.
