Impact Funding Description

Three-year Impact Funding is intended for ongoing programs that are part of the organization’s over-arching structure and mission. The intent of offering multi-year funding is to provide increased financial stability for applicants and a greater capacity to measure outcomes achieved. The multi-year funding model promotes sustainability of services for the community by allowing organizations to concentrate more on program design, delivery and evaluation. Additionally, multi-year funding encourages longer-term planning, evaluation of impact and efficiency for both organizations and UWPH. It may also enable organizations to better leverage their positions for additional funding elsewhere. Multi-year funding facilitates efficient and effective use of staff/volunteer/organization time during the allocation process and enables both organizations and UWPH to engage in longer-term planning and outcomes measurement.
