Community Support Agency Grant Program
FY 2022 Application
PART THREE: PROGRAM INFORMATION
This section contains a series of questions designed to capture the impact that the agency will generate with or without
funding from the City of Newport News.
PART FOUR: PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
The City of Newport News has incorporated a performance measurement framework into all its budgetary functions to
emphasize and to help obtain community outcomes. Outcome Measures indicate the change in the conditions of well-
being for resident and nonresident children, adults, and families due to the programs or services provided. Outcome
Measures focus on why services are performed (the intended results of the program/service/project), as opposed to how
services are performed (number of visitors/participants). Applicants are asked to describe how the organization measures
their performance and what impact the activity or program for which funding is being requested has on their “customers”.
Specific Outcome Measures should be identified under the following categories. These are suggested areas; the Outcome
Measures are not limited to these categories only:
• Economic Drivers: Funding the requested grant will result in job growth, attract revenue (an example, tourism
dollars), and stabilize property values.
• Educational Assets: Funding the requested grant will result in improved children’s success in school or
improved adult educational attainment.
• Health and Welfare Supports: Funding the requested
grant will result in an increase in individual self-
sufficiency, increase in employment, or improved health outcomes.
• Civic Catalysts: Funding the requested grant will result in greater community safety or create a welcoming
sense of place that brings people together.
• Cultural Legacies: Funding the requested grant will preserve the heritage of the City’s unique natural and
cultural resources for future generations to enjoy.
Organizations that receive funding will be asked to provide the City with semi-annual reports on performance measures.
Reporting forms will be provided by the City and will be available on the Budget and Evaluation website:

• Record of financial sustainability

• Uniqueness of programs/services provided and complement to City programs/services
