- Summary:
-
Shows how foundations can use evaluation to strengthen their own and their grantees' programs. Introduces the concept of evaluation and offers practical, how -to advice for foundations interested in, or beginning to formulate a strategy for, evaluation. Part one describes the issues a foundation should consider and provides guidance for developing an evaluation plan and interpreting evaluation results. Part two uses nine case studies to illustrate how real foundations, faced with choices for evaluating projects or programs, made those choices; what kinds of evaluations were conducted, by whom, and what they found; and what the foundations and others thought of the results. The conclusion distills from the case studies thirty-five keys to effective evaluating for foundations. Includes a glossary of terms and an annotated bibliography.
