NASTAD Baseline Survey Invitation

NASTAD Baseline Survey Invitation – submit by 8/31

Hello!
Thank you for your patience with the evaluation process for the Strengthening SSPs funding
opportunity. This e-mail contains a link to the baseline evaluation. This evaluation will provide an idea of
your program’s capacity before funding started. We estimate that it’ll take most programs about twenty
minutes to complete. (Depending on the services your program offers, it may take you a little longer or a
little less time.)
Please complete this survey by 11:59 pm on Thursday, August 31st. If you’re concerned about this
deadline, please let us know at [email protected].
This link is unique to your program. Please feel free to circulate this link within your organization if
needed, but please don’t forward it to another program. If you need us to re-send your unique link,
please contact [email protected].
You can open the survey in your web browser by clicking the link below:

And you'll receive a copy of your responses upon completion.

If you have questions you’d like to talk through with us, please attend our evaluation office hours on
Tuesday, August 15th from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm EDT (11:00am to 1:30 pm PDT). Here’s the link.

You’ll find a list of the information you’ll need to complete this survey in the reference guide file and at
the bottom of this message.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Thank you, as always, for your partnership, and for the work you’re doing.
Warmly,
The SSSP Grant Team
