Community Foundation Awards Grant to Truly Valued

By  | 

December 1, 2021 – Sarasota

Truly Valued is the grateful recipient of a grant from the Sheldon L. German Fund and Edward K. Roberts Emerging Needs Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. This investment will help Truly Valued to develop a results framework to define, track and verify the results of our programs by hiring Results 1st to provide consulting services.

The I Am Academy through Truly Valued consists of a few different programs that contribute to achieving our mission. Success for the Academy participants is defined by behavior changes that are seen and heard that are associated with the following characteristics and goals.  “This is an awesome opportunity to capture the work that we have been doing,” shared Shavonne Simon, Director.

Staff and volunteers will be trained to use the Results 1st tools to continue measuring the success of our programs long after the project is completed.
