Actions
When IMPACT DC’s directors present to funders, they use quantitative data that describes the need, emphasizing the City’s disproportionate asthma burden (10.3% of children aged 0-17 years in DC have asthma); and qualitative data that follows one child through the program to demonstrate the health and QOL improvements the program delivers.
ANWM visits corporations and describes the burden of asthma in terms that are relevant to employers. There are many children with severe asthma in the community and when they suffer acute attacks, their parents—the corporation’s employees—are more likely to miss work.
Strategies
Put data that matters to potential funders and payers in front of them to demonstrate the need for your program and your impact
