Measuring Effectiveness Checklist for Private Foundations

To help you evaluate if your charitable funding is effective, we’ve crafted the following questions for you to ask your grantees about the projects and initiatives you’re supporting for them. You can request written responses, audio/video or even invite them to discuss the questions during an in-person meeting. You can use this checklist to better understand your grantees and to determine the charitable impact the grantees are making with your funding. It can also help you gauge how your grantees perceive you as a funding partner and if there’s anything that you can be doing to better support them.
