- Abstract:
- Organizations implementing teen pregnancy prevention programs with federal support are interested in understanding how to sustain their programs beyond the grant period. Federal funding can help identify and bolster evidence-based approaches, but these resources are limited and competitive. Therefore, grantees must begin planning early in the grant period, develop strategies to institutionalize services, and be able to adjust quickly to continue serving their communities when their funding environment changes. In 2015, the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) launched a three-year effort to explore the key factors that affect program sustainability strategies that former OAH grantees have successfully employed to sustain their programs (see About OAH's Sustainability Study). In 2010, Sasha Bruce Youthwork (SBY), a nonprofit organization located in Washington, D.C., received an OAH grant to implement an evidence-based intervention in four schools in the city. After their grant ended in early 2016, SBY secured funding from the DC Department of Health that enabled them to sustain by scaling back implementation of the program. This case study highlights the experiences of SBY and details the factors and strategies that made it possible for them to sustain their program despite funding constraints.
