Pilotlight Evaluation Manager Dan Ritman’s 2008 Evaluation Report demonstrates that Pilotlight charities go on to achieve amazing results.
The more data we collect after the close of Pilotlight relationships, the clearer it is that the effects are profound and long-lasting:
- Of those charities able to measure the change they make in lives and communities, 60% have seen an improvement since they began working with Pilotlight.
- Partner charities have increased the number of people they help by an average of 57%, two years after the end of their work with Pilotlight, showing how our results become embedded and sustainable. The average income growth between 2000 and 2006 was 5.7%.
- Partner charities show an average 54% growth in turnover, two years after the end of their work with Pilotlight. Their average annual turnover growth is 36% per year, approximately six times the UK voluntary sector average.
- 95% of partner charities have gained skills and tools for managing their operations better, by the end of their work with Pilotlight, in areas such as strategic planning, financial forecasting, governance, marketing and evaluation.
