The Door - A Center Of Alternatives Inc

The Door - A Center Of Alternatives Inc applied for our funding and recommendation in Cause 5: Employment Assistance, but did not advance past our Round 1 screen, which aimed at finding charities with strong self-documentation (based on our principle of focusing on already-proven programs). Note that unlike other evaluators, we focus on finding and examining the strongest charities, not on providing equally thorough ratings to each one. More on our process is available at this link.

Specifics of why The Door - A Center Of Alternatives Inc did not advance

We used the following criteria in conducting our Round 1 screen of Cause 5: Employment Assistance:

1. We received data not just on how many people have been placed in jobs, but how many have remained in those jobs 3-24 months later
2. Or, we were given such a thorough description of the jobs (and job markets) they prepare clients for that we felt we had a strong sense of likely outcomes for their clients.

The Door - A Center Of Alternatives Inc did not provide us the above information. It's possible that they have the information we want, and didn't send it due to misinterpretations of our application, time constraints, or other reasons. But due to time constraints of our own, we opted to focus on the applicants that seemed most promising.
