The WhatWorks Foundation Effectiveness Toolkit

Quantifying success to meet your mission...

The Center for What Works is excited to bring you the WhatWorks Foundation Effectiveness Toolkit, a unique offering to assist foundation staff to improve their understanding and practice of outcome measurement.  This Toolkit is a direct reflection of your needs voiced in our extensive market research.  It actualizes well-regarded philanthropic research reports including those published by the Urban Institute, the Center for Effective Philanthropy, and more.

 Foundations, do you face these CHALLENGES?

  • Our goal is to selectively support nonprofits that will put our funds to the best and highest use.  How do we systematically select grantees based on their likely impact?
  • We are continually questioning the impact of our foundation and the impact of our grantees yet the concept of
    "impact" remains elusive.
  • How do we ensure we are allocating our resources to programs that do the most good?
  • Is it possible to compare results across our grantee programs?
