Evaluation of the Victorian Community Support Grants program

Nous was engaged by the Department of Planning and Community Services to evaluate the Victorian Community Support Grants program. The program has provided grants across Victorian communities to the value of $103 million since 2004. The overarching conclusion of the evaluation is that the program has delivered on the intended outcomes in all categories. Recommended next steps include more effective administration and data collection and approaches to data collection to provide a longitudinal  perspective on the continuing impact of the investment.
