Success and Failure in the Evaluation Process
What do the terms "success" and "failure" really mean in the philanthropic world? Funders have taken different approaches to learning from initiatives that haven't gone quite as they had hoped. Some funders want to learn from their mistakes, some provide technical assistance to lagging grantees, and some want to focus their light on "bright spots" and grantee successes.
On Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at the Grants Managers Network's 2015 Annual Conference, Kat Athanasiades discussed how and when Innovation Network uses grant reports in evaluation; how and why getting good evaluation data from grant reports is difficult; and potential ways to make it easier for grantees to report on failure in a way that could be useful to evaluators. Couldn't make it? Take a look at the slides from the presentation!
