 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?
Paula Hickman, Executive Director for the Community Foundation of North Louisiana states:
"The Center for What Works is a strategic partner with the Foundation in our work to strengthen community through philanthropy. By helping our local nonprofits measure and report outcomes, The Center has laid the groundwork for increased community impact and improved donor engagement.
