Grants often require an independent evaluation to assure the funder that the project is meeting its goals and objectives and accomplishing outcomes. At the grant application stage, Shaffer Evaluation Group will help you craft measurable goals and objectives and prepare an evaluation plan to improve your competitiveness to win a grant. Post-award, we work closely with you to collect meaningful data and generate the reports you need to remain compliant with your funder's reporting requirements. Contact us today for more information.
