Webinar Description:

With so many types of program evaluation to choose from, how do you pick the right one for your grant project? Choose wrong and it may look like the program failed, when really it just wasn’t ready for that stage of the adventure. We will present key types of evaluation and review when you might want to choose each.

During this 1-hour webinar, we will present types of evaluation, a decision tree on when to choose each type, and how to discuss these with your clients and funders. We also will walk through examples of how to write about these types of evaluation within grant applications.
