The next question asks how your program will ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion. This means racial diversity as well as diversity of gender, age, socio-economic status, etc. 

In your answer to this question, please consider:

• Does your program reach a diverse population? If not, how will the program work to create more diversity?
• What steps will be taken to ensure equitable engagement?

SECTION FOUR. PERFORMANCE MEASURE(S). HOW WILL YOU KNOW YOU ARE ACHIEVING THE GOAL OF YOUR PROGRAM?

SCORING: Section Four is worth up to 25 (of 100) points.

What are your most important performance measures? Please use the spaces below to list them, along with the target value for each performance measure. Three PMs are required.

See definition below or consult resources on the sidebar to the right for more information if necessary.

Performance Measures (PMs) answer the following questions: How much did we do? How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? PMs should be written as a number (for example, "# of workshops held") or as a percentage (for example, "% of clients showing improvement in financial situation"), followed by the target value for each PM.

Once PMs are determined, they should be routinely monitored. Three Performance Measures are required here; space is available for additional PMs.

While you may have many PMs, choose the PMs that best answer the questions: “Is anyone better off?” or “How well did we do it?” The most important PMs will show if you are achieving the goal of your organization.
