Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Gender Reel, hopes to achieve two primary outcomes in 2020. Outcome 1: Increasing participation of under-represented communities of trans people (trans people of color, trans people who are differently abled, etc., ) by 50%. Outcome 2 Help festival attendees enhance their knowledge and understanding of the trans and gender non-conforming experience. To achieve the above-mentioned outcomes, festival participants will fill out a short evaluation form at the conclusion of each festival day. This form will track important demographic information about those who attended the festival (Outcome 1). Additionally, this evaluation form will ask participates to list two new things they learned while attending the festival about the trans and gender non-conforming community (Outcome 2).

Measurable Outcome(s)

Evaluation forms indicated 87 participants. This includes: 26 people over 50; 49 people between 25-49; 12 under 25. Additionally, 46 people self-identified as a person of color, half identified as trans, gender non-conforming, gender diverse and/or queer, and 20 had not attended before. It should be noted, there may have been people who participated, but did not fill out an evaluation form.
