You may be worrying, “What will happen if I don’t start by identifying an audience need but instead get a program idea from a funder’s Request for Proposals?”

Don’t worry. First, perhaps the funder has already identified a need. Second, the OBPE police don’t give tickets!

Our point is that it pays to think about outcomes early on because it’s so central in planning what you will actually carry out. And here’s a hint if you need help with terms like “outcome” and “indicator.” We’ll explain these carefully in the other modules, but meanwhile check the Glossary if a term seems puzzling or unfamiliar.
