8. Going forward, we look to extend our reach and improve our
effectiveness by learning from past observations and challenges, and
by looking to trends and opportunities to answer these questions:
•How can we increase our funds and participation?
•What might we do to source more projects in future grant cyc
•How can we measure the impact of PRW projects and PRW o
•How can we provide additional support to our projects?
