CAPACITY BUILDING
Building an Evaluation Framework to Close a $500K Federal Grant—and Secure What Comes Next
Overview
A $500K federal prevention grant required measurable community impact to close successfully. The organization needed an evaluation system that could demonstrate real-world results to funders—and lay the groundwork for follow on funding.
The Challenge
Today's Hope needed to satisfy rigorous federal reporting requirements and prove community impact at scale. Without a formalized measurement approach, they risked losing both current funding closure and future grant eligibility.
