Request Renewal Grant

Use this form if we have given you a grant before. Please note new questions below regarding the ages of program participants and their affinity with specific groups; the mix of direct service and advocacy; and how you measure Impact and Metrics.  If you have not given us information like that before, give a brief list of the top metrics you use. As always you can attach a report in lieu of retyping.

In 2–3 paragraphs, briefly cover:

• What you're requesting — amount and purpose
• Who you serve — any changes in population, ages, or volume since your last grant
• What's new or different — program changes, leadership, budget shifts, or new challenges
• What's working — a top result or outcome since your last Bennett Family Foundation grant

If nothing significant has changed, say so briefly. If an annual report or impact summary covers this, link or attach it below instead.

Who you serve

For this program, summarize as percentages the ages of who you serve, and if they fit into one or more of the following groups. If you measure how many program participants fit the segment, enter the percentage.

These are not hard and fast requirements. If you think we're missing the right way to capture who you serve, tell us that. For example, if age is not a relevant dimension, enter 100 in 'NA'. If your program is gender-specific, serves a "twoGen" or other multi-generational participants, or bears other relevant distinctions, include those details in the program description and/or your attachments.

Approximately what percentage of your organization's budget and staff time is dedicated to direct service delivery to youth, young adults and/or families as opposed to advocacy, policy, research, training, or community education?

If your program includes therapeutic or clinical elements, check all that apply:

Check any frameworks your program intentionally uses. Optional — leave blank if none apply:

Summary of Impact

How do you measure your progress?  List briefly and, if possible, distinguish between:

• Impact: long-term, fundamental changes in the lives of beneficiaries or in broader societal conditions. They answer: "Did we change lives or solve the problem?" Example: 'Youth maintain stable housing 12 months post-program'
• Outcomes: medium-term changes in knowledge, behavior, attitudes, or circumstances resulting from your programs. They answer: "What changed for participants because of our work?" Example: PHQ-9 scores improve by average of 6 points,' '75% complete workforce training'
• Outputs: direct products of your activities—what you deliver. They answer: "What did we do and how much?" Example: '120 counseling sessions provided'
