"Remember the proposal you helped us craft for the big funder? Two others joined in, and they gave us more money than we originally asked for. The initiative is now in its fifth year and has expanded its reach to six new communities. We just met with our funders and they plan to continue supporting us beyond year five. Glad we had your help on that proposal!"

The Massachusetts Coalition for Adult Education contracted with SMI to create a briefing for the state to help assess the potential impact of performance based funding on the state's adult education system. This briefing informed the state's strategic plan for federal funding, and helped to shape the direction of future funding for the state system.
