ACHF Arts Access
The organization estimates that the majority of participants asked will indicate that the grant project had a positive impact on their communities and that the arts are important to them, either personally or to their communities. The organization will conduct their evaluation by talking with participants and collecting comments.
On a scale from 1 to 5, for both Positive Impact and Importance to the community, the average score reported was a 5 for both.
