by state service commissions is money
well spent; performance measurement is
one way to demonstrate that.
As the Comptroller General testified
to Congress on May 22, 2013:
‘‘Performance measurement, because of
its ongoing nature, can serve as an early
warning system to management and a
vehicle for improving accountability to
the public. To help ensure that their
performance information will be both
useful and used by decision makers,
agencies must consider the differing
information of various users—including
those in Congress.’’
One commenter requested additional
clarity regarding the definition of
community and private sector resources
as indicated in the inputs section of the
theory of change logic model and
specifically whether this includes state
funds. CNCS has amended the
application to clarify the intent is to
capture all resources including those
from the State, private funders or from
Federal sources. The purpose is not to
document sources of funding but the
magnitude of resource commitment by
the commission in addressing the
community need and the strategies
intended to be implemented by the
commission.
One person expressed a desire for
examples and additional guidance on
CNCS’s expectations for the theory of
change logic model. CNCS intends to
provide technical assistance prior to the
deadline for submission to assist
commissions prepare their theory of
change logic model and performance
measures. CNCS expects to include
examples at that time.
One commenter stated the narrative
questions are narrowly focused on
AmeriCorps and do not allow
commissions to articulate the breadth of
their operations. CNCS recognizes that
commission missions vary from state to
state; however, all commissions are
engaged in managing and overseeing
AmeriCorps program grants. CNCS
intends the questions provided in the
guidance to be minimum starting points
and not a specific limit on what may be
included in state commission
applications. If an activity is included in
the state service plan and the
commission is dedicating Commission
Support Grant resources to that effort, it
should be reflected in the commission’s
application.
One commenter suggested that CNCS
adopt a single open narrative instead of
three-sections as proposed for 2014.
CNCS considered a single narrative
section but decided that there were
efficiency gains by being able to
separately process information related
to the distinct outreach and selection,
