Rocky Mountain Development Council, Inc. (Rocky) conducted the Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment (CCNA) to provide the organization with information about the population it targets for service. The study was designed to compare Rocky’s services to the needs of the community that were identified by surveys, community forums, key-informant interviews, and focus groups. Added to information from these groups was quantitative data from a number of local, statewide, and national resources.
Rocky encourages and welcomes community partners and other nonprofits to utilize the CCNA when evaluating their own programs and services.
