The Foundation is interested in learning how our grantmaking assists nonprofit organizations effectively manage operations and programs based on community need. Helping to sustain vital organizations who are building vibrant communities is our common goal. Such evaluation helps organizations – and the Foundation – to assess operations and mission-related activities and their impact on strengthening our community.
The Foundation will work with each Common Good Funds grantee to co-design an evaluative process. We will ask all grantees to report on progress and challenges in either six or 12 month intervals. A small number of organizations will also receive post-grant site visits from Foundation staff and/or consultants for deeper conversation and learning.
