Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To increase our ability to expand our capabilities, through new programs and events, and greater awareness of the Landmark and what it has to offer our community. Our board of directors meets monthly to discuss the activities and services we are providing, and the quality of management provided by the director. We regularly ask for feedback from participants in the activities we provide, and try to use this information to improve the quality of our services.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Landmark Center runs on a tight budget, and these additional Grant funds allowed us to continue Directors' bonus payments throughout the year, and helped cover some of our utility fees. These grant funds also helped us continue to offer many opportunities at a reduced fee, or at no fee to the participants, making our workshops and events more accessible to community members.
