The National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers invited me to present a webinar this month on evaluation – “Are We Making a Difference in Our Philanthropy? Exploring Low-Cost, High-Value Tools for Evaluation.” In this April newsletter, I wanted to highlight a theme from the webinar that doesn’t get enough attention in philanthropy.
Let me get right to the point – when foundations consider how best to learn if their strategies and their grant partners’ work is making a difference, it’s absolutely essential to design and conduct evaluations together. It’s been said a thousand times before and it bears repeating that evaluation is about how to improve not prove.
Learn more about evaluation and how we’ve assisted grantmakers and their partners in strengthening their respective endeavors.
