See Forward Ministries

Need: See Forward conducted a community needs assessment related to newcomer populations in the Louisville area. There is a need for support of quantitative and qualitative evaluation to supplement this needs assessment, as well as dissemination activities related to community needs. 

Opportunity: Part of the CFCWB's mission is to engage in rigorous research and evaluation to promote well-being of vulnerable individuals, families, organizations, and communities. These areas of service and expertise align with the priorities and needs of See Forward..

Proposal: The CFCWB partnered with See Forward in the following areas:

1. Analysis of needs assessment data: CFCWB conducted additional quantitative analysis of needs assessment data as feasible and needed to supplement the preliminary analysis/report by See Forward.
2. Qualitative evaluation of community members: Interviews and focus groups were conducted with community representatives to develop an in-depth understanding of lived experiences of the target population to clarify the quantitative data. 
3. Quantitative evaluation around thematic areas: Rapid assessments will be developed and disseminated around specific thematic areas from quantitative (survey) and qualitative (focus group/interview) data.
4. Dissemination of needs assessment findings: Infographics, reports, and presentations will be developed based on quantitative and qualitative evaluation data by CFCWB.
