Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Strengthening Communities Fund (SCF) Performance Management
and Evaluation Support.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: This proposed information collection activity is to
obtain information from participants in two Strengthening Communities
Fund (SCF) programs: The Nonprofit Capacity Building Program and the
State, Local, and Tribal Government Capacity Building Program. Both
programs are designed to contribute to the economic recovery as
authorized in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA). The SCF evaluation is an important opportunity to examine
outcomes achieved by the Strengthening Communities Fund and progress
toward the objective of improving the capacity of organizations served
by program grantees to address broad economic recovery issues in their
communities.
The evaluation will be designed to assess progress and measure
increased organizational capacity of each participating organization.
The purpose of this request is to receive approval of the data
collection instruments that will be used in this study.
A significant amount of information is already being collected
through program-specific OMB-approved PPR forms or is available through
secondary sources. Proposed surveys and phone interviews are very brief
to reduce the burden on respondents.
