 The
Center for Effective Philanthropy:
(a) Indicators of Effectiveness:
Understanding and Improving Foundation Performance
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.
(b) Toward a Common Language:
Listening to Foundation CEOs and Other Experts Talk About
Performance Measurement in Philanthropy
Charitable foundations justly take pride in
the good works they enable. But what does it mean for a foundation
to perform well? And how can its performance be measured? These
are the difficult questions we posed during the autumn of 2001 to
74 foundation executives, CEOs, and expert observers of
philanthropy.

Performance: Current Practices, Future Possibilities
