How will your organization measure the effectiveness of activities and the expected results by end of the funding period?

• Activity - What are you doing to accomplish the goal? (e.g. Provide noon meal to disadvantaged students.)

• Outputs - Number & percentage of clients served (e.g. Survey shows 80% of all teachers feel their class is more attentive. 75% of students show an increase in academic performance. School attendance improved from 70% to 85% for all patrons.)

• Outcomes - Clients’ change in knowledge of behavior (e.g. 500 people per day are no longer hungry, and are able to improve their lives via job search, focusing in school, etc.)

• Number of Beneficiaries – (e.g. 30 staff trained and educated, impacting 500 clients each day)

• Measurement & Reporting Tools – How do you determine goal achievement? (e.g. Teacher surveys, student academic evaluations, attendance records, pre and post-assessment surveys, weekly and quarterly conversations with clients, etc.).

• Evaluation Process - How often are the assessments? And what is the feedback process for staff? (e.g. Teacher surveys, student academic evaluations, attendance records, pre and post-assessment surveys, weekly and quarterly conversations with clients, etc.)
