common error is answering the wrong question:
e.g. the funder asks about OUTCOMES and you write about OUTPUTS
Common Errors
![Page 49: Masterclass 1 Trust fundraising - Getting smart results · 2016. 11. 25. · Innovation & creativity ‘Fit and proper’ management Partnerships Sustainability User involvement Range](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071102/5fdbacbc17aba90d396c3ebe/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Evidencing outcomes (1)
OUTCOMES are not the same thing as OUTPUTSOUTPUTS tend to measure how busy you areOUTCOMES refer to the difference you make to the lives of your beneficiaries
![Page 50: Masterclass 1 Trust fundraising - Getting smart results · 2016. 11. 25. · Innovation & creativity ‘Fit and proper’ management Partnerships Sustainability User involvement Range](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071102/5fdbacbc17aba90d396c3ebe/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Evidencing outcomes (2)
Outcomes may be soft or hard:– 80% of students passed the exam (Hard
outcome)– Students reported a greater sense of self-
confidence and esteem (Soft outcome)– Again, you need EVIDENCE of outcomes
