MEASURING TOOLS

How do you measure your results?
We want applicants to think about how they can show the impact of their grant award outside of numbers and incorporate some qualitative reporting tools into projects and reports. Frequently used tools such as recording attendance at events, or number of events held does not tell us how, or even if your project has made a difference. We are interested in addition to numbers the story of the impact of your project; for example, using  photovoice (picture with voice) to tell the story about how your project has changed the lives of people you interacted with. 
 
Carefully worded surveys can elicit valuable information about any changes as a result of your intervention. 
 
Other tools may involve keeping a journal about activities and meetings and any changes in the community that you have noticed as a result of your activities.
 
The tools that you use will depend upon the objectives that you have selected in your project design.   For example, do you want to change policy or advocate for a specific change? Generally, grantees report number of events held, or how many people attended those events.  Does this tell us anything about what happened as a result of your work?  Qualitative reporting might provide additional insight into the results of your project. How did it actually affect those that you interacted with?
