Civic tech - How do we know what is making a difference?

We welcome you to download these two guides to evaluating civic tech. They are filled with best practices that can help innovators monitor progress towards their goals and evaluate the impact of their efforts. 

The guides are the result of eighteen months working with Knight Foundation grantees and other civic tech leaders to find out how they measure success, focusing on tools they are using to track platform performance and assessment challenges they face along the way.  

Also, check out the Additional Tools & Resources directory. If you have suggestions for us to include please let us know.
