Impact is often an elusive concept in philanthropy. What is the most effective way to monitor grants? How do families define and measure success? What is the burden on grantee partners and how might it be mitigated? Successful family philanthropies employ a formative framework for impact that typically involves a process to define the sought-after change, an alignment of grantmaking practices to the desired end-result, a strategy to monitor and evaluate progress with grantee patterns, and a reflection on how to leverage impact. In this webinar, learn how to adopt a formative approach to measurement and evaluation and explore the considerations for high impact philanthropy.
