Are you managing your grant-funded projects so that you track the outcomes that matter? It is increasingly important to demonstrate the impact your program has on the public good. It is no longer sufficient to report on “outputs” such as the number of beneficiaries served or the units of services implemented. Instead, anticipated “outcomes” that focus on social returns must be quantified in the grant proposal and effectively managed throughout the life of the grant.
Join us and learn how to:
-Establish milestones and track progress to generate meaningful data
-Identify elements of effective progress reports -Transform strategies and activities into outcomes and impacts
-Use evaluation to enhance future resource development
Presented by: Dr. Suzanne Valery Suzanne, now retired, was the Director of Institutional Grants at Allan Hancock College for twelve years. Her previous experience in teaching and in student services working with special populations gave her the broad understanding needed to secure external funding to support the district’s strategic priorities and improve programs and services for students. She has over twenty years’ experience working in all aspects of grants management. As a retiree, she volunteers on the Fund for Santa Barbara’s Grant Making Committee and its Strategic Planning Committee. She also provides technical assistance and evaluation to Santa Maria’s Central Coast Makerspace Collaborative, a newly established grant-funded initiative. Before working in education, she worked in the nonprofit sector providing case management, employment counseling, and developing self-sufficiency programs in collaboration with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community colleges. Her dissertation research focused on stakeholders’ views of the process of inter-organizational collaboration.
