How to Log Presentations

Outreach matters � and so does documenting it. Learn how to log presentations with audience demographics and grant data so your reporting is always covered.

Presentations are a big part of how many victim service organizations reach their communities—whether through prevention education, awareness sessions, or outreach events. In Strive DB, you can log each presentation in a way that makes grant reporting and program evaluation seamless.

This post walks you through how to enter a presentation from start to finish, including audience demographics and funding data.


🧭 Access the Presentations Section

To begin, head to the Advocacy tab in the left-hand menu, then click Presentations. This opens a table showing all previously logged presentations.


➕ Start a New Presentation Log

Click the “New Presentation” button to begin a new entry. This will open the first part of the form.


📝 Fill Out Basic Presentation Info

In the first step, you’ll log the basic event details:

  • Date of the presentation
  • Type – such as primary prevention, outreach, training
  • Topic – e.g., healthy relationships, consent, boundaries
  • Location – where the presentation took place (e.g., workplace, school)
  • Grant – indicate which grant funded the event
  • Units of service – number of presentations or hours
  • Pre/post test – whether a test was given before, after, or both

🔄 Proceed to the Presentation Page

Click Next to land on the specific Presentation Detail Page. This is where you’ll enter attendance and presenter info.


👥 Add Audience and Presenter Info

On this screen, fill out:

  • Number of attendees
  • Total presentations given (for that event)
  • Providers – who gave the presentation (mark primary vs. support)
  • Remarks – any additional notes or context

🧠 Recording presenters helps connect the work to staff service logs, and ensures credit for participation is tracked consistently.


📊 Add Audience Demographics

This is one of the most important steps for grant reporting.

  • For each unique combo of gender, race, ethnicity, and age range, add a new row
  • Enter the number of participants that match that combo

✅ Entering full demographics here supports accurate grant submissions without needing extra spreadsheets later.


💾 Save and Review Summary

Once everything is entered, hit Save. Strive DB will show a summary view with:

  • Total attendees
  • Number of presentations
  • Demographic breakdown table

🧠 Final Thoughts

The Presentations tool in Strive DB makes it simple to document outreach, track provider involvement, and stay grant-compliant. Whether it’s a one-time event or part of a long-term series, each presentation you log helps paint a clearer picture of your organization’s impact.
