Toward a Trust-Based Framework for Learning and Evaluation
What if we reimagined evaluation as an opportunity for funders to learn and evolve as stewards, rather than taking on the narrow–and virtually impossible–task of proving that limited grants make a measurable impact on longstanding, complex social issues?
Current Areas of Focus
We believe in the transformative value of learning and evaluation.
The Evaluation Roundtable is a cutting-edge, dynamic platform for peer learning in philanthropy. Evaluation and learning leaders from over 130 foundations in the U.S. and Canada participate.
