Three groups who cannot write measurable outcomes

1. "Suspicious Entitled”

2. “Sick Sharks”

3. "Elite Sharks"

4. “Nutty Inventors”

What the funders want to know:

1. How do you conceptualize outcomes?

2. Do you understand how they think about outcomes?

3. Are you a megalomaniac? A wimp?

4. Are you willing to be measured?

5. Are you one of a kind?

Go into google.com and enter “writing measurable outcomes” (use the quotation marks).

Ways to meet expectations of the funders

1. Read their funded proposals. (http://brechner.org/foia request.asp), For instancem my Youthbuild FOIA request.

2. Use widely industry-accepted outcomes ( in google.com, addiction "writing measurable outcomes")

3. Use widely industry-accepted outcomes (in google.com, addiction benchmarks) Also http://www.financeproject.org/irc/promising.asp.

4.
