Welcome to Facente Consulting’s Evaluation Resource Page: Toward Health Equity Oncology Grant^TM (THE Oncology Grant)

Gilead Oncology Corporate Giving Program

Facente Consulting is working as the evaluation support team for Gilead Oncology’s Corporate Giving Program. In this role, we provide awardees with information, guidance, and technical assistance to help them tell the story about the impact of their programs. We’ll update this page regularly with recordings of trainings we offer, or resources that can help make evaluation tasks easier. Check back regularly!

Action Items & Timeline

Quarterly Snapshot Due Friday, July 14. Use this form to enter your snapshot.

This is NOT a data report, and you do not need to submit any RBA data. The purpose of the quarterly snapshot is two-fold: 1) it will provide us information that can help with identifying future coffee chat topics and TA needs, and 2) since all snapshots will be shared with all the grantees from this FOA, it is an opportunity to see what others are doing, build connections based on common program efforts and challenges, and learn from each other.

This should be a low-effort, low-stress activity taking 20 minutes or less. You will be asked to provide short answers to no more than 3 questions, which you will choose from the list below. Use this form to enter your snapshot.

Choose 1 question from this group:
What are you learning?
What program successes or assets could you share with other grantees?
How has your program demonstrated resilience?

Choose 1 question from this group:
Share something surprising or exciting that has happened with your program.
How have your collaborations enhanced your impact?
How is RBA implementation going?

Choose 1 question from this group:
What challenges are you experiencing?
What support do you need?
