COO Evaluation Mini grants

Summary and download

Communities of Opportunity (COO) invests in community power for structural change. COO partner activities range from awareness-raising and building collaborations within and across communities to developing and implementing processes and policies that support improved health, housing, economic opportunities and community connection. Evaluating the outcomes or impact of some of these activities may call for more focused evaluation or additional evaluation activities that complement existing evaluation.

These mini grants are intended to support COO partners' efforts to evaluate the success and impacts of their work. These grants aim to support short-term, discrete evaluation projects that contribute to understanding COO's outcomes and impacts.
