One of the five grant areas in the Endowment is Managing for Results. “The Endowment is seeking proposals which examine how organizations align their processes—such as budgeting, workforce, business processes—around their strategic goals. The area also focuses on how organizations use performance and results information to make policy, management, and resource allocation decisions. The Endowment is especially interested in how different organizations work collaboratively to achieve common outcomes. The Endowment is also interested in case studies of the use of balanced scorecards, including the measurement of customer service.”
