Maybe you just need a little assistance sorting through program (re)development. Having a well thought-out, written plan will help accomplish either of these tasks. Alliance for Building Community & United Way of Adams County offer 2 one-day trainings that will help you dedicate time to organizing and mapping your organization's programs so that funders & the public have a clearer understanding of your operations. (Trainings are offered in winter & summer.) Logic Model A Logic Model will clearly identify the pieces of your organization's "puzzle": the key players, programs/activities, outcomes, etc., providing a visual overview of your organization that allows both funders & the public the opportunity to better understand your organization. In turn, funders & the public will know where their money is being used and be aware of volunteer opportunities. August 10th 9:00am-3:00pm United Way of Adams County 936 Broadway, Suite F Quincy, IL Cost: $50 per person, includes materials & lunch Registration: www.extension.uiuc.edu/adams. Registration is limited to the first 25 people. Deadline to register: Aug. 6th or when registrations reach 25. Outcomes Measurement Training Outcomes Measurements will explain to funders & the public how you measure the success of your programs. You will have the opportunity to define what success means to your organization, identify the tools needed to measure that success, examples of how to "show & tell" the impact of your programs' success, and identify who is responsible for each outcome. September 14th 9:00am-3:00pm United Way of Adams County 936 Broadway, Suite F Quincy, IL Cost: $50 per person, includes materials & lunch Registration: www.extension.uiuc.edu/adams.
