The purpose of the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) is to grow the impact of innovative community-based solutions. These solutions have compelling evidence of improving the lives of people in low-income communities throughout the United States. Evaluation is a key component of the SIF program.
 
This document serves as a guide and resource for developing evaluation reports for the SIF program. It is intended to promote a shared understanding among AmeriCorps (formerly the Corporation for National and Community Service), SIF grantees and subgrantees, and evaluators about how evaluation reporting can support efforts to disseminate findings regarding rigorously documented program impacts and sharing lessons learned about effective programming and building evidence. This document provides:
  • Support in developing evaluation reports that align with their SIF Evaluation Plans (SEPs).
  • The checklist of criteria that CNCS will use to review each report for completeness and quality.
