The Charities requires all grant recipients to measure their success in attaining program goals. The purpose in asking for an evaluation plan in the application phase is to:
1) encourage potential grantees to incorporate evaluation into their planning process from the inception of the program, and 2) to enable outcomes measurement during and at the end of the grant period.
Evaluation Plan/Report Components:
- outcomes statement (who or what is expected to change as a result of this grant)
- the measurable goal(s) for the project (limit 6)
- activities to achieve goals
- information needed
- methods to be used to gather the information, and
- who will be responsible for gathering it?
We encourage each applicant to use the Charities' Evaluation Tools to assist in defining and tracking project goals, outcomes measures and financial information.
