ANA conducts project-end outcome evaluations that address two main questions: (1) to what extent did the project meet its established objectives and (2) how does the grantee describe the impact of its project on those intended to benefit within its community? This report addresses these questions for projects ending in 2013.

Among the purposes of ANA outcome evaluations are to record the successes and challenges of ANA grantees in order to improve their capacity and to produce relevant data on Native American community-driven projects that is useful to Native American communities. This report provides an overview of ANA projects visited in 2015, along with brief summary reports for each of the 42 projects evaluated and included in the 2015 data set, arranged by state. These summaries include a snapshot of data for each project, including full-time equivalent jobs created, Elders and youth involved, partnerships formed, and resources leveraged, among other figures. Each summary provides background and an overview of the project goals and objectives, and describes the accomplishments and perceived impact the grantee had in their communities.
