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?

Foundations, do you face these CHALLENGES?
|
|
- We need a streamlined capacity-building tool that teaches our grantees to quantify the effectiveness of their activities.
- We want cost-sensitive outsourced training for our grantees that includes one-to-one consultative services. We know hands-on assistance from experts is the key to putting training into practice.
- We need a system that allows grantees to make mid-course corrections during a grant-cycle and allows us to see the data that reflects this improvement.
