As part of ongoing research on foundation performance, the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) has now surveyed the grantees of more than 80 foundations. Grantees are asked for candid, confidential perceptions of their funders along various dimensions, including the selection process, interactions during the grant, and foundation impact. CEP has also provided Grantee Perception Reports® based on this data to many foundations.

All surveyed foundations are listed below, including independently surveyed foundations (some of which have provided grantee lists and contact information) and foundations that have commissioned a Grantee Perception Report® (GPR), denoted with an asterisk (*).

For information on participating in CEP's next round of surveying and receiving a GPR, please contact Judy Huang, Manager of the Grantee Perception Report,® at (617) 492-0800 x204 or judyh@effectivephilanthropy.org.
