​Focus on Grant Outcomes

📢 Let’s Talk Grant Outcomes!

Is your organization thinking about applying for a grant from the Don Wood Foundation? Do you want to make sure your proposal stands out? Or perhaps you’re already a grantee and want to learn how to showcase your impact effectively?

Join us for our next Community Connection Series on May 28 from 8:30 to 9:30 AM, when our President and CEO, Laura Macknick, and Vice President of Programs, Susan Mendenhall, will discuss what grant outcomes really mean.

🔹 What’s the difference between an outcome and an output?
🔹 Why do SMART outcomes matter in your application?
🔹 How can you measure and communicate your program’s success?

Whether you’re new to the grant process or looking to refine your approach, this session is a must-attend to help you strengthen your proposals and demonstrate real impact. Additionally, it’s an excellent opportunity to network and connect with others in our funding community.

📅 Mark your calendar and RSVP today at the link below! We look forward to seeing you there.
