Promise to Show Results, Grant Seekers Urged

Grant seekers should always show how they will evaluate their projects—and how they will show grant makers the results—even if foundations don’t require such a pledge, says an experienced reviewer of proposals who spoke at today’s annual meeting of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

She suggested that small charities that can’t afford expensive evaluations should seek out a graduate student at a local college who may be interested in following a grant as part of a thesis.
