Getting to Impact Through Evaluation
A new primer from ASF, Getting to Impact Through Evaluation, introduces simple evaluation strategies that small foundations can use to increase their impact.
Evaluation can be a daunting topic for foundations of all sizes, but it is essential for foundation managers who want to increase the impact of their giving. Getting to impact through the work of a foundation requires good planning, intentional work toward a goal, and a drive to keep learning and improving—and evaluation is a critical tool along the way. This ASF primer shows how, even on the smallest scale, evaluation can:
- Provide valuable information for decision making
- Measure progress and motivate your board and staff by documenting your achievements
- Help you to be as effective as possible with limited resources
- Help you to learn, plan, and improve all aspects of your work
Get started using simple evaluation to increase your foundation’s impact.
