"Program evaluation is the key to an organization's success. Analyzing program outcomes can help you implement cost efficiencies and improve in areas that need extra attention. It gives you the opportunity to evaluate whether what you're doing is working, and if it's not, to make the necessary changes. A strong evaluation section in your grant proposal tells the grantor that the organization is succeeding in its mission, or if it's not, that it has a plan in place to improve future outcomes. This can make the difference between getting funded or turned down."--Book cover
