The Importance of Demonstrating Funding Outcomes• Use the Program Performance Outcomes to
continuously improve our service. Turn the Curve• Use the outcomes to report back to Funders via
quarterly, yearly or end of program reports• Use the outcomes to outline the evidence that YWCA
NSW is making a difference in the community. This is then used in tender applications, and to justify internal funding of programs
