In the Purpose of Grant section of the Proposal Narrative, you ask us to list “outputs” and “outcomes.” What is the difference between the two?
Outputs are the products of your effort, such as a publication of a report and its distribution, the implementation of training, the number of participants you draw, the staff hired, the amount of funds raised, etc. Outcomes describe the difference that your efforts will make, or in other words, the results and changes that correspond to your stated goals. Some examples of outcomes are: improved organizational infrastructure and stability, increased public support, policy change, attitude change, or behavior change.
