Beautification Project Evaluation
WELCOME PAGE

Welcome! This webpage has links to the online surveys that you will complete quarterly to report on your organization’s beautification project activities funded by the Ruth Mott Foundation.

NEW! The RMF Beautification Activity Surveys are improved based on user feedback. There are two new survey sections and many new improvements.

Click HERE to download a summary of changes to the surveys.

Instructions:

There are 15 survey sections covering different types of beautification activities (see the list below).

You will complete all 15 survey sections, even if you have beautification activities related to only some of the survey sections. For each survey section, you will answer a screening question indicating if your project has conducted that type of activity.  If you answer “no,” you will be skip to the end of the survey.  If you answer “yes,” you will answer all the questions for that section.

Before you begin each survey section, download and complete the survey section worksheet. Worksheets are downloadable WORD files. Click the WORKSHEET button to download and print the worksheet.  You should complete the worksheet first so you can gather all the required information for that survey section. 

A few grantees will need to complete and upload one or more EXCEL spreadsheets for some survey section questions.  This requirement only applies to the grantees who report a very large number of grant activities for a specific survey question.  Specific instructions in the survey section worksheets will help you determine if this requirement applies to your grant.  The downloadable EXCELl Spreadsheets with required data fields can be accessed by clicking the SPREADSHEET buttons below.

After you complete the survey section worksheet, click the GO TO SURVEY button to begin entering your information into the online survey section.
