IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Each funding Application is in the form of Empowerment WORKS' flagship community development approach, "7 Stages to Sustainability". Once completed, the application becomes a living document which serves both as a strategic planning tool, as well as a monitoring tool once projects are under-way. Each of the seven stage questions represent key project operation areas. Once applications are accepted and related projects begin, the initial application and onboarding interviews define milestones and a general benchmark or starting point to measure progress for each of the key areas / 7 stages. Over time, info can be updated to reflect latest plans and goals. Key Milestones are identified in Program Onboarding and are the basis for follow up monitoring and evaluation meetings every 6 months.
