Evaluation Tools Help Non-profit Find its Place in Healthcare Landscape

About The Client
GTECH Strategies is a Pennsylvania-based non-profit which works in communities to mobilize residents,
local policy-makers, and like-minded organizations to transform vacant spaces into thriving and usable
places.

The Challenge
As a unique non-profit locally and nationally and with dual investment in people and places (individual
empowerment and environmental improvement), GTECH Strategies has been on the cutting edge of
bringing two distinct factors of community health together. However, being a bridge between two related
but siloed factors of community health is challenging and raised important questions for GTECH internally
regarding shared impact across programs and where to focus strategic planning efforts in the future. As
a non-health entity, GTECH found it challenging to understand its role in health and how to be prepared
to partner in the health eco-system. Leaders were eager but unsure of the best way to demonstrate how
their work and influence impacted something as broad as “community health.”
