In Search of Impact informs the debate on operating support with new data about current foundation practices, attitudes underlying those practices, and the impact on grantees of foundation choices.

We are hopeful that the data presented in this report will spark more informed discussion about how to best balance foundation objectives and grantee needs – and about what foundation and grant characteristics should be considered in that equation.

To aid this discussion, we have invited practitioners and researchers to provide their reactions. We also compiled a list of related resources that may be of interest.
