Measuring programmatic success is a challenge faced by foundations of all sizes. In the last Boston local engagement group (LEG) meeting, we explored collaborating with grantees on impact. In this next program, we will take a deeper dive into performance measurement, working together in a roundtable format on case studies addressing how funders can learn with grantees. Participants will examine and discuss real life examples and leave with new ideas to tackle their own work. Participants will be encouraged to submit key problems of practice in advance for group discussion and analysis.No prerequisite is required.
