The document presents findings from the 2012 State of Evaluation project, which surveyed U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to assess their evaluation practices and capacities. Out of 20,000 organizations invited, 567 responses were collected, revealing insights on how nonprofits engage in evaluation, the types of evaluation practices used, and barriers faced. The research highlights a low response rate and emphasizes the need for enhancing evaluation capacities in the nonprofit sector.
