Program funding resources

Program impact evaluation methods (fund driven)

• State DD Council Grant
• DPI grants
• Special Education Program
• Student CEC fundraiser
• Community fundraisers
• Otto Bremer Foundation
• Community Foundation

• Student Survey
• Parent Survey
• Third party observations
• Trends in participation
• Pre/post skill assessment
• Group assessment of quality

It is best to begin by obtaining funding for a pilot with a small group and then looking for a permanent funding source.

Think about what will be meaningful to participants and the time and energy you have to give to evaluation.
