This blog post poses good questions to ask when evaluating a project, with particular reference to grant making initiatives.
- What do you want to know?
“This should be based on your goals and objectives, and the impact you want to have.” - Who needs to know it?
“Your evaluation findings have many possible audiences, depending upon the scope of the project.” - How will evaluation findings be used?
“When designing your evaluation, it helps to consider in advance how your foundation plans to use the findings.”
