| Abstract: Collaborations and partnerships among nonprofits are critical strategies in this economy and toward mission achievement. During the past ten years there has been a surge in research around the most effective measures to evaluate them. The Foundation Center and Grantcraft have published interesting and useful articles on the subject and has shared important learnings on evaluation approaches being used; however, what seems to be missing are more candid examples from the philanthropic sector. What role is evaluation playing in funder-to-funder partnerships? What evaluation design approach, measures and indicators are used to assess and learn from partnerships? How well do these measures address funder’s information priories? These are the kinds of questions that either remain unanswered or lack real world examples. Review the ‘findings’ of this evaluation approach, designed and implemented by Ricardo Millett and Chantell Johnson, TCC Group and explore its utility and applicability to other foundation to foundation partnerships. |
