Assessing
Performance at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: A Case Study
How are we doing? The
question seems straightforward, and for some an answer is simple:
A foundation bestows money on worthy causes, so by definition, it
must be performing well. High-profile stories of successful
foundation-funded projects and enthusiastic acclamation from
grantees, the public, and colleagues can seem to confirm the
perception that a foundation is creating great impact. For an
increasing number of trustees and and executives of charitable
foundations, however, relying on these intangibles is not good
enough.
