When writing your proposals, do you clearly demonstrate the impact of your work?
Providing the number of classes held or participants served is useful information, but it isn’t enough to satisfy most funders because funders want to know… “So what?”
What difference will your program make? How will it change people’s lives? And how will you measure those changes?
During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to use outcomes and indicators so you can answer a funder’s “So what?” question confidently.
You’ll learn:
what outcomes are and why they are an important piece of your proposal;
how to actually measure your outcomes using indicators;
how to create a process evaluation;
pros and cons of different measurement tools; and,
how you can establish an evaluation process.
You’ll leave ready to craft a proposal that clearly shows the difference your program will make in the lives of those you serve.
TargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session contains 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A with Alice. It’s perfect for any member of a nonprofit organization seeking to strengthen their proposal writing skills
