| Assessment Resource - Leader | Wallace foundation |
| Assessment Resource - Purpose | This is a method to assess foundation impact. In this paper, Wallace Foundation President M. Christine DeVita discusses Wallace’s efforts to gauge its own organizational effectiveness, a practice common to business and government but new to the field of philanthropy. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | The method asks four core questions with varying indicators by program area. The questions are: (1) Are our grantee partners satisfactorily executing their plans? (2) Are our partners incorporating the changes they are making in the way they do their work? (3) Are people in our grantee sites benefiting? (4) Are we producing and effectively promoting useful knowledge? |
