Set object in SequelizeJS function - node.js

Question

I'd like to get all my projects in the findAll() function of SequelizeJS but it seem's not working outside the function...
var myProjects;
Project.findAll().then(function(projects) {
myProjects = projects;
});
console.log(myProjects); // it doesn't work
EDIT #2
I'm trying to create an object containing all my links that I can get on each views without calling findAll() on each actions... projects was an example, but the real context is on my link's model !
var dbContext = require('./../../db/DbContext');
var _ = require('lodash');
var LinkDao = function () {
this.context = dbContext.entities;
};
_.extend(LinkDao.prototype, {
getAllByOrder: function (callback) {
return this.context.Link.findAll({order: 'position ASC', include: [{ model: this.context.Link}], where: {type: [0,1]}});
},
});
module.exports = LinkDao;
exports.locals = function(app){
app.use(function(request, response, next){
var linkDao = new LinkDao();
linkDao.getAllByOrder().success( function(links){
response.locals.navLinks = links;
});
var ecCategoryDao = new EcCategoryDao();
ecCategoryDao.getAll().success( function(ecCategories) {
response.locals.ecCategories = ecCategories;
next(); // navLinks is not accessible
});
});
};
<% navLinks.forEach(function(link){ %>
<% if(link.type === 0) { %>
<li><%-link.name%></li>
<li class="top-bar-divider"></li>
<% } else { %>
<li><%-link.name%></li>
<li class="top-bar-divider"></li>
<% } %>
<% }); %>
