6) We prefer projects/programs
that make a big difference to some individuals' critical
needs over a project that will make a small
difference to lots of individuals' minor
needs. |
7) We like our grant to make a
big difference to the project or program being funded
(We don't want to throw $50,000 into a $5,000,000 program). |
8) We like projects or programs
which help people directly ( we prefer to make good
things happen rather than build places for good things to
happen, so we do not fund
construction). |
| 9) We like to see evidence that
an organization has: |
|
A.
Applied for what it needs; |
|
B. The experience and means necessary
for success; |
|
C. Documentation supporting its cost
estimates and timetable for the project; |
|
D. Allocated the vast majority of
funding to actual programs and services versus
administrative and fund raising costs; |
|
E. Avoided duplication of services

|
F. Identified objective criteria
whereby to judge successful implementation of
services and provided for their measurement; |
|
G. Implemented a quality assurance plan to
insure the quality of services provided
over a period of time. |
|
H. Interest in sharing information regarding
its organization with others interested
in establishing a similar program in another area. |
