Grant Evaluation Report

An Evaluation of the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board's Grants Program (PDF Format)

Since its establishment in 1990, the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board has not conducted any formal assessment of its grants program. Without an evaluation of the grants program, WEEB can neither speak definitively of its successes nor defend itself from critics. In 1997, Lt. Governor McCallum stated, “Without clearly established accountability measures, it will be difficult for WEEB and taxpayers to know if the board’s initiatives have been successful in maintaining ‘both the quality of life and the quality of the environment that the citizens of Wisconsin enjoy’” (p. 50 of the report).

This report summarizes a study that identifies and describes accomplishments of the grants program and identifies areas of strength and weakness. This report also makes recommendations to WEEB so they may in turn make the necessary changes to improve the effectiveness of the grants program.
