4.1: Program and Project Quality

Expand Program and Project Quality

Other Information:

The Corporation has embarked on a multi-faceted approach for improving program and project quality. As the Corporation continues to move toward an enhanced, performance-based grants management system, we will we will continue to add vigor and expertise to the process we use to select high-quality programs. We will support a variety of organizations capable of developing successful programs and generating increased volunteer capacity. We will conduct and support outreach to faithbased and other community organizations that are not presently receiving Corporation resources and be more responsive to state and local needs in order to build a pipeline of high quality and diverse applicants in all grant competitions. Significant management improvements have taken place over the past two years at the Corporation. The changes will continue to unfold over the next five years. We will further enhance knowledge management by engaging and sharing meaningful research and evaluation efforts to identify effective program practices, societal trends, and areas for program improvement. We will promote knowledge sharing internally and externally and invest in the skills and capabilities of our service partners. By investing in a continuous culture of learning, we will strengthen management and program performance. We will also provide more tools and opportunities for the replication of successful service models and accelerate innovation in program models during competitions and pilot ideas that can later be embraced by our core programs.
