Mill City Grows
The Merrimack Valley Growers Aid Program (MVGA) within Mill City Grows (MCG) provides resources and education to limited-resourced and socially disadvantaged farmers in the Merrimack Valley.​
The Problem
MCG needed a way to help the Program Manager manage the brand new Merrimack Valley Growers Aid Program, which was funded by a USDA NRCS grant award. They needed a way for him to manage all the logistical and operational moving parts of the program, as well as the financial performance of the grant and the impact that the grant was having on its recipients.
The Solution
Streamlined and automated data collection which reduced amount of places data needs to be entered
Reduced duplicative manual data entry and manual errors by using smart dropdown lists
Created clear picture of what the program needs to measure and how to measure it
Created executive dashboards and reporting capabilities
Created program performance reporting
Allowed program manager to run program with confidence

With Impact Aligned we talked through what the goals of the program were, we thought about the things that we could measure, and we created a Tracker and a Dashboard to look at how we were achieving our goals, and how we were charting revenue and expenses. This let us look at who we've helped overall, how we've helped them, as well as how much it's costing us in terms of inputs and what we're getting in terms of outputs. It gives us a really clear picture of how this brand new program is working.
