How do we evaluate and prove that monies have been spent in the correct way by the community?
The Foundation considers evaluation of our Grants Programs to be very important. Understanding what works and just as importantly what does not, helps us to become better grant makers. The successful organisation has 12 months in which to complete the project that they have been granted funds for. They must then complete a proforma in which they provide a brief description of the completed project, any changes which were made to the original and reasons for these changes and an outline of how they believe the project has contributed, or is contributing to the wellbeing of the community. The Foundation may also send a representative to the organisation to conduct site visits and see just how much the grant assisted the community.
