| "Foundation leaders
are increasingly concerned with understanding and assessing the overall
performance of their foundations, convinced that better performance
assessment will lead to greater effectiveness and, in turn, to more
social impact on the people and issues they affect.
Because it is so difficult and costly for foundations
to directly measure the social benefit of the myriad grants they
make, foundations are beginning to experiment with indirect indicators.
These may not provide definitive proof of social impact, but serve
as useful guidance to management in seeking to improve performance."

of Effectiveness: Understanding
and Improving Foundation Performance |

This worksheet is intended to help foundation staffs and boards
establish indicators of foundation performance in four areas: achieving
impact, setting the agenda/strategy, managing operations, and optimizing
governance. This framework was informed by interviews and surveys
of foundation CEOs, trustees, and grantees during CEP's Foundation
Performance Metrics Pilot Study. |
