Learning Objectives: Differentiate between common types of grant metrics (e.g.\, outcomes\, outputs\, reach\, cost-effectiveness) and explain their relevance to different funder priorities. Identify and select the most persuasive data points and visuals for a given funder scenario. Analyze how funder goals\, values\, and risk tolerance influence which data is most compelling. Evaluate the effectiveness of data presentation in sample grant narratives and recommend improvements. Construct a concise\, funder-aligned narrative that integrates selected metrics and visuals to support a compelling grant case. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Dr. Jodie Boisvert\, President of Change Amplifiers Research and Consulting\, is a sociologist and evaluation and grant writing expert dedicated to helping organizations harness the full power of their data. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and extensive experience in social services and community impact\, she brings both academic rigor and practical insight to every project. Her consulting work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: data should do more than inform it should persuade\, inspire\, and drive change. Dr. Boisvert specializes in using data strategically to strengthen grant proposals and position organizations for larger\, more competitive funding opportunities contributing to over $6 million in grant funding secured. Through her consulting practice\, she works with organizations to elevate their evaluation practices\, sharpen their narratives\, and transform data into compelling cases for investment helping them win bigger grants\, attract funders\, and expand their impact at scale.
