Greetings!
The Central New York Community Foundation is pleased to announce that it is accepting proposals in the area of performance management systems related to measuring progress and improving performance towards intended outcomes that lead to community impact.
Through such legislation as the Serve America Act of 2009, the federal government has recently created a series of grant opportunities that are available to nonprofit organizations that are able to demonstrate a significant and meaningful community impact through their programming. This includes such opportunities as the Social Innovation Funds and the Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, Promise Neighborhoods, Invest to Innovate (I-3) and some stimulus dollars.
Our performance management systems RFP is intended to help local organizations build their capacity to compete for federal and other funding opportunities that require scientific evidence with respect to program outcomes and community impact. In addition to reporting on progress, awardees should anticipate participating in a learning community of grant recipients.
Projects should:
· Build capacity to demonstrate both outcomes (i.e. measureable impact on community needs) and outputs (i.e. number of people served)
· Support a program or group of programs that address an identifiable community need, use a logical approach, emphasize assessment, and have long term sustainability
Projects may:
· Involve one or more organizations collaborating together
· Involve hiring and working with consultants and or external evaluators
· Involve installing a data system or creating a new process for data collection
· Range from $20-50,000 for a single or multi-year project
Information:
· In addition to Meet the Foundations sessions on August 19th and 24th, we will be hosting lunchtime workshops with featured experts in the area of performance management from 12 noon to 2pm on Monday, July 26th (Nonprofit Works), Tuesday, August 3rd (New York Council on Nonprofits) and Monday, August 23rd (Associates for International Management Services). To attend, please RSVP 3 business days in advance to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Performance-Management-Capacity-Building-Pre-Grant-Workshops
