Global Grants Community Assessment Form
Global Grants Community Assessment Form
Assessing the strengths, weaknesses, needs, and assets of the community you plan to help is an essential
first step in designing an effective and sustainable global grant project. See Community Assessment Tools
for full instructions and helpful tips.
This form will help you report the results of your community assessment, and it’s required when you
apply for any humanitarian or vocational training team grant. Complete a separate form for each
beneficiary community (e.g., school, health care system, or village), using information that is both current
and specific to each community. Remember, you can’t use global grant funds to cover the cost of doing an
assessment, but you can use district grant funds.
