Project Evaluation for Lisle Funded Seed Fund Projects

To download a Microsoft Word version of this file click [here].

Each project funded by Lisle is required to provide an evaluation at the end of the project's activities. The purpose of the evaluation is for Lisle and the project itself to learn from the effort that was undertaken. We want to know what worked as well as what did not work and why it did not work.

The evaluation consists of two parts:

answering the questions below; and
providing photos, letters from participants in the project, videotapes, or other material that will assist Lisle in understanding what was accomplished and documenting the results. For most projects a final report of between 3 and 7 pages is appropriate.

The answers to the evaluation questions and all other accompanying material must be sent to the Lisle Office within one month after the Project ends. Failure to complete the evaluation disqualifies you from future grants from Lisle.
