Summary of Expert Interview Findings for Evaluating Policy and Advocacy Organizational Effectiveness

This report summarizes TCC’s recent interview findings with selected policy advocacy experts (such as funders, researchers, consultants and practitioners) as well as a literature review of recent research. Drawing from its own work in organizational development and organizational effectiveness, TCC probed experts around four capacities TCC has found to be central to organizational effectiveness (leadership, adaptive, management and technical). The primary purpose of the research was to understand how the framework applies specifically to effective advocacy organizations. Both the literature review and expert interviews were intended to inform the development and refinement of a logic model for the California Endowment’s General Operating Support Grant program in order to conduct an evaluation of the impact of the program.
