Policy and research
Audience engagement and reach:
Broadening - capturing a larger share of the population known to
be traditional participants but who currently do not participate
Deepening - intensifying current participants level of involvement by eg increasing the number of attendances or by the degree of audience (active or passive) engagement Diversifying - attracting new audience groups/different demographic (eg young people/rural population/ international market).

of non-profits, the outcome is primarily the public good created.
