Faith in Place
A High Impact Lending Program for Faith Communities
Abstract
Baseline measurements of program impact leading to critical adjustments – that is the arc that leads to this new social innovation: high impact lending for faith communities in Illinois. More than two years ago, I worked with our team to implement measurements of program impact. Not an easy task, but we did it. Now, we are looking at that data asking what critical adjustments we can make, given our limited resources, along with the need to continue to increase impact. Those questions have led to further listening to our program partners, and has resulted in a new approach that plans to make available tens of millions of dollars to our partners to implement energy efficiency measures at their faith communities.
