Overview
This project was the result of a six-week design sprint for the City of Toronto's Civic Innovation Office, an office funded by a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies. This project focused on the City's Neighbourhood Grants Program and developing a way that "long-term impact" could be understood and measured in the grant program.
The research process included the following methods:
-
Community consultations and resident activities
-
Interviews with residents, city staff, and program partners
​
The project's outputs included:
-
A service design blueprint
-
A co-created definition of "long-term impact" as it relates to the Neighbourhood Grants Program
-
An improved evaluation system for measuring and monitoring long-term impact in the program
-
A balanced scorecard
