STRONGER TOGETHER
Part I: Proposal Checklist/Cover Sheet
The proposal checklist page must be included as the cover page of your proposal. Use the checklist to ensure that your
proposal is complete, checking off the items to indicate their inclusion in the proposal. Any proposal missing any
portion of the proposal or the required attachments will be considered incomplete and will not be considered. Your
agency’s chief professional officer (executive director or president) and chief voluntary officer (board president or
chairman) must sign the cover page after reviewing the proposal, to indicate board and CPO approval of the proposal.
Part II: Agency Overview
Section A: Agency Information
Following are explanatory notes for some of the items in the Agency Information section:
Success Story: Please share a story about how your agency has made an impact in our service area. This can be
a story about one person, the entire agency, a community or family…just tell us how your agency has made an
impact.
For example: Our agency was contacted by a young mother who needed to get their father to the doctor during the day, but
she kept having to miss work and was no longer able to afford food and utilities for their family. Because of Connect Transit
and the Senior Program, this woman can now arrange for the Senior Program and Connect Transit to assist with her elderly
father. Now she can get back to work to earn enough money to pay for food and rent for the whole family. This assistance
was made possible through funding from UWGCM and this assistance has reduced this client’s need for other services in our
area, like rent and utility and food assistance.
Section B: Financial
This section is intended to capture information that will provide an overall picture of the agency’s financial
health. Following are explanatory notes for some of the items in the Financial and Management Section:
•
Question #5 regarding endowments:
Include in your response any funds held by the agency that are not officially designated as an
endowment but are effectively treated as such.
•
Question #7 regarding noncompliance with licensing or regulatory bodies:
Briefly describe issues that may have prevented, or might prevent, the agency from achieving full
licensure or accreditation, or re-accreditation, by national accrediting bodies such as Council on
Accreditation (COA), Council on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), state agencies, or
national parent organizations or affiliates.
•
Question #13 regarding audited financial statements.
If your agency has a budget under $100,000 and does not conduct an independent audit please
submit the following attachments.
Instruction Manual: UWGCM 2014 Funding Application

current year budget to the proposed budget. Also, provide an explanation of revenue included in the “Miscellaneous
Revenue” line item if it represents at least 5% of the total agency budget. In addition, provide an explanation of
expenses included in the “Miscellaneous Expenses” line item if it represents at least 5% of the total agency budget.
Part III: Program Proposal
The program proposal consists of six sections, outlined below. A program proposal must be completed for each
program submitted.
Section A: Program Information
This section requires detailed information regarding the program under consideration. Label your response to
each of the questions preceding them with the question indicated in bold (for example, “Program Name,”
“Overall Goal of the Program,” etc.) If the program has variations affected by geographic areas, such as
outreach, activities, planned program changes, etc.: please address those variations in your response. Please
limit your responses to this section to no more than 5 pages.
Section B: Outcomes Measurements Logic Model for 2013/2014
An Outcomes Measurements Logic Model is a description of how your program works to impact your clients. It
is the “if-then” sequence of changes that the program intends to set in motion through its inputs, activities, and
outputs. If the one-page format in this packet does not provide adequate room to complete your Logic Model,
you may reproduce the page as needed.
Inputs Column
List the program inputs, which include resources, such as staffing, materials, and other resources that are
necessary in operating the program, as well as constraints, which are conditions that limit the program’s ability
to achieve its outcomes. Resources are used to achieve program objectives. They may include volunteers,
facilities, equipment, curricula, money, etc. A program uses inputs to support activities. Constraints may include
laws, regulations, or funder’s requirements.
Activities Column
Provide a brief statement about the activities that program participants engage in. The statement should
provide a clear explanation of the services involved in the program, who receives the services, and from whom
the services are delivered. This can also include strategies, techniques, and types of inputs – the services it
provides- to fulfill its mission; e.g. sheltering homeless families, distributing food to families, providing
counseling to abuse victims. Program activities result in outputs.
Instruction Manual: UWGCM 2014 Funding Application
Page 10 of 20
STRONGER TOGETHER
Outputs Column
List the quantifiable measurements of the program’s activities. Generally, this should include the number of
people who participate in the program’s activities, as well as one or more other measures of the program’s
activities. Outputs are similar in nature to “units of service” and are the direct products of program activities
and usually are measured in terms of the volume of work accomplished – for example number of meals
provided, shelter bed nights, number of participants served. A program’s outputs should lead to desired
outcomes for the program’s participants.
Outcomes Column
Outcomes are the benefits to participants during or after their involvement with a program. Outcomes may
relate to knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, behaviors, condition, or status. List the outcomes you intend to
measure for the program. A program may have initial, intermediate, and longer-term outcomes, such as
improved family stability, placement in transitional housing, more effective responses to conflict, getting a job,
etc.
Section C: Outcomes Measurements Framework for 2013/2014
Describe how you will measure achievement of the outcomes identified on your program logic model. If the
one-page format does not provide adequate room to complete your Outcome Measurement Framework, you
may reproduce the page as needed.
Outcome Column
List ALL of the outcomes that are identified on your Logic Model. To avoid confusion, be sure that the wording is
the same as on the Logic Model.
Indicator of Success
List the indicators that correspond to each of the program’s outcomes. You should have at least one indicator
per outcome. The indicator should state specifically the observable, measurable characteristic or changes that
represent achievement of an outcome. In general, an indicator statement should begin with the phrase
“number and percent of program participants who”, to proceed the statement of the observable, measurable
characteristic or change. (For example, “The number and percent of students who demonstrate improved
school performance.”) The indicator statement should not include actual numbers.
Source of Data
Describe the data source which will be used for each indicator (e.g., client self-report, observation, client
records, etc.).
Method of Data Collection
Describe the process by which the data will be retrieved (e.g., client survey, extraction from client file, use of
observation checklist, etc.).
Instruction Manual: UWGCM 2014 Funding Application
Page 11 of 20
STRONGER TOGETHER
What Data to Collect
Describe WHAT specific information you need to measure your indicators. Include any influencing factors
(gender, age, income, race/ethnicity etc.)
When and How Often To Collect Data
This column asks WHEN and HOW OFTEN information should be gathered. When services begin and end?
Weekly? Monthly? Annually?
Person the Data Should Be Collected From
This column indicates from exactly WHOM should the information be asked. HOW MANY clients…..all or the
same.
How will we Communicate
This column asks WHO will you communicate your results and findings to and HOW you will communicate those
findings and results.
Section D: Clients Served by Geographic Area
Report an Unduplicated count of individuals who participate in your program for the 2012
calendar year.
If your Agency does not serve individuals but does serve groups please quantify and describe those participants
in section C.
Section E: Program Budget
Provide 2013 budget and 2012 actual financial data for the program under consideration, as well as 2014
budgeted amounts. See Agency Budget instructions (Page 10) for information on how to use and complete the
preformatted form. NOTE: UWGCM will not fund a program surplus.
Section F: Program Budget Narrative
Provide an explanation for significant changes in both revenue and expenses from the current year program
budget to the proposed program budget. Also, provide an explanation of revenue included in the
“Miscellaneous Revenue” line item if it represents at least 5% of the total program budget. In addition, provide
an explanation of expenses included in the “Miscellaneous Expenses” line item if it represents at least 5% of the
total program budget.
