EvaluationThe lasting change we seek to fund is most tangibly represented in the attainment of results, often referred to as outcomes. The Foundation defines outcomes as: a target audience’s changed or improved skills, attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, status or life conditions brought about by experiencing a program.

You should be able to speak to these outcomes in enough detail to address the following specifics as defined below: Outcome Indicators Data Sources Applied To Data Interval Goals/Targets A target audience’s changed or improved skills, attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, status , or life condition brought about by experiencing a program The measurable conditions or behaviors chosen to show an outcome was achieved; observable evidence of accomplishments, changes, or gains Tools, documents, and locations for information that will show what happened to your target audience The target audience to whom the specific indicator applies The points in time when data are collected The stated expectations (in terms of a number or percent) for the performance of outcomes
