    Project Restrictions

    Nonprofit doesn't always know the ages of children in the families they serve so numbers may be higher than what is collected.

    Project Rewards

    Funders can see the number of kids they are supporting. Nonprofit can show funders where they can scale with more funding to meet the needs of the community. Community members will benefit if resources are allocated according to their needs. The cycle of poverty can be intercepted for 0-8 children.

    Definitions Of Success

    Help nonprofit show how much they are helping real needs and where more funding is necessary to meet the rest of the community needs.

    Project Goals

    Show the gap between kids 0-8 in poverty served by nonprofit versus total in the community. Clearly present the data to the nonprofit so they can use the information to present to funders and other stakeholders.
