New Out-of-School Time publications from The Finance Project

[Wright, Elisabeth]

The Finance Project is pleased to announce the publication of five new 
publications focusing on financing and evaluating out-of-school time 
programs.  For printed copies of any of these publications, contact 
Charlene Whitfield, Fulfillment Officer, The Finance Project, 
202-587-1000. 
Replacing Initial Grants: Tips for Out-of-School Time Programs and 
Initiatives, Available athttp://www.financeproject.org/fptips.htm. This book is designed to help new program directors find longer-term 
funding by providing concrete tips and examples of ways other 
out-of-school time initiative leaders have succeeded in replacing initial 
seed grant money by creating a diverse portfolio of federal, state, local, 
and private funds. It is also intended to provide suggestions for finding 
longer-term funding and share ideas for program leaders whose grants will 
expire soon. (Elisabeth Wright with Sharon Deich, December 2002) 
Documenting Progress and Demonstrating Results: Evaluating Local 
Out-of-School Time Programs (with the Harvard Family Research Project), 
Available at http://www.financeproject.org/OSTlocalevaluation.htm. Produced in partnership with the Harvard Family Research Project, this 
guide provides out-of-school time practitioners with techniques, tools, 
and strategies they can use to improve their programs and track their 
effectiveness over time. It is also intended to provide information about 
multiple aspects of evaluation, so program stakeholders can become more 
informed participants and, thereby, more empowered in the evaluation of 
their programs. (Priscilla Little, Sharon DuPree, Sharon Deich, September 
2002)
