“An account regarded as being unreliable or as being hearsay” Hmm…not sure I agree with the Oxford English Dictionary’s version! I prefer – information which supports the need for a project or the impact of a project but which has not been formally measured. E.g. 

‘Measured by quality’ Evidence gathered during monitoring about your work which relates to how people felt about the activities / outputs which took place. E.g.

“measured by quantity” Evidence gathered during monitoring about your work which relates to data and is specific and measurable.

“To spread widely”  Sharing findings from any work you’ve done with others.

“the making of a judgement about the amount, number, or value of something” The assessment you make about your project after is has finished to establish whether or not it was a success.  Also a great opportunity to learn lessons and to tweak future endeavours

“To observe and check over a period of time” The things you will do during the project to check that any funded work is going to plan.

“a marked effect or influence” Wider changes which happen on a larger scale as a result of your outputs and outcomes. E.g.:

“a consequence” The things which happen after your activities have taken place and can be directly attributed to your outputs.

“the amount of something produced by a person, machine or industry.” Same as activities, but they need to be specific and relating to the funding you’ve received (note the use of the word ‘amount’ in the dictionary definition. 

“A state of lacking or requiring help” The problem you’re trying to solve and often the reason your charity exists.
