Most of the funding for prevention programming comes from federal, state and local government grants. Often local foundations and businesses contribute financial support for programs aligned with their interests and goals. Inevitably the funding comes to an end, although the problem does not go away. Organizations must constantly pursue funding streams in order to sustain the level of services they are committed to. Planning for sustainability must begin at the onset of the development of a program or strategy and continue throughout the implementation and evaluation of all activities. This workshop will discuss predictors and barriers to sustainability, and strategies to ensure the continuation positive outcomes.
Objectives- Participants will be able to identify keys to increasing organizational capacity for sustainability.
