Measuring Grant Outputs and Outcomes

Presented by:

Dr. Tara Abbott, Duquesne University


Successful grant applications typically share similar attributes: a demonstrated need, a feasible plan or project, and clearly stated objectives that can be measured to assess success. However, nonprofits often rely solely on counting outputs rather than assessing outcomes more broadly, thus missing the opportunity to fully measure and demonstrate the meaningfulness of their efforts for grantors and funders.

This session focused on designing appropriate goals and objectives for your projects as well as discussing how to move from counting outputs to measuring outcomes in order to strengthen your ask.
