“The Community Check Box is an invaluable tool in my evaluation practice. Clients enter outputs and process data on their own from anywhere, anytime. By customizing the tool to their goals and efforts, we can give on-demand feedback about where and how they are focusing. The focus on community and capacity changes keeps the reason for the work at the front of everyone’s minds. There is a deep appreciation for seeing the story of impact they create through their everyday work.”

Dan SchoberClinical Assistant Professor, Master of Public Health Program, DePaul University

“So much research and so many years of community practice have gone into the Community Check Box and it shows! An amazing tool that helps community leaders put science into their everyday practice.”

Dan PartridgeDirector, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department

“Mobilizing your community to take action on daunting challenges is hard work. However, using the Community Check Box to track our progress on the Roadmap to a Healthier Douglas County has made that work easier. Sharing accomplishments and data across stakeholder groups is fundamental
to our work and the Check Box makes it happen. It is hard to identify a decision that has been as impactful as using the Check Box.”

Paul EvensenSenior Vice President, Strategies Initiatives, Wyman Center

“I have used this tool to help more than 50 community coalitions tell their story and demonstrate outcomes. I could not have done it without the Check Box.”

Prevention Coalition Director

“The Community Check Box still remains the BEST reporting system that I have experienced as far as truly capturing the work. I thank you for all of your support.”
