Mapping Progress, with a Purpose

"Measuring our progress in achieving our goals and fulfilling our mission is more important than ever. In a world of economic volatility, government constraint and increasing transparency, funders and their grantees need more effective ways to demonstrate their individual and collective impact to a broadening array of interested stakeholders. Blair shared the steps the Ontario Trillium Foundation took to re-invent how they measure the impact of their granting, what they measure, and why. Through a focus on balancing accountability with an action learning agenda, using mixed measurement methods, increasing engagement with grantees, staff and volunteers, and experimentation, you, too, can improve how you map your progress towards achieving your organization’s mission." -- Maytree
