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.

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.

And planning an overnight or multi-day bike ride is a great family project that everyone can get excited about.
