The FAMCare Blog

The now familiar slogan that I have chosen as the title of this blog is not meant to be a political statement or an endorsement of any kind. Rather, I was musing over why Bernie Sanders, a 74- year-old self-described socialist, appeals overwhelmingly to Millennials.  I wanted to understand how these “Feel the Bern” Millennials differ from Baby Boomers and how the differences are impacting the social consciousness of America.

What does FAMCare KPI measurement look like?  Does FAMCare measure performance?  YES.  With FAMCare agencies can not only measure the performance of a caseworker, but also the performance of the agency as a whole.  In addition - and most important, FAMCare can measure the outcomes for your clients.  What other KPI's exist that can be measured?  Before we answer that - let's define what a KPI is.

Do you love screencasts?  I do and am going to tell you why.

If a picture is worth a 1000 words, a screencast must be worth 10 times that.

FUNDING BIAS

Nonprofit donors have been traditionally reluctant to fund overhead. They feel better when their funds go to feed the hungry or house the homeless rather than supporting unpopular “administrative expenses” that, if truth be told, they often see as a management ripoff or gross inefficiency. It isn’t like donors don’t realize that the organization that actually executes the nonprofit’s mission has a generic cost that fuels the mission itself. They just feel that it should be almost zero, or, at least, none of their funds should be wasted on the office and salaries.

Child Welfare

Every year we take a look at the national statistics compiled by the Department of Health and Human Services on the state of childcare across the country. These statistics are used to evaluate whether the risk factors affecting the welfare of America’s children are increasing or diminishing.

With spring here, we’re all longing for a good dose of fresh air and some quality time with Mother Nature. One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with your family is by biking or hiking on your local bike trail. And planning an overnight or multi-day bike ride is a great family project that everyone can get excited about.
