Kevin Bolduc

Vice President, Assessment and Advisory Services

Kevin leads the creation and delivery of CEP’s performance assessments and advisory services, including the development of new tools that help funders improve their effectiveness.

Since joining CEP in 2001, Kevin helped design CEP’s groundbreaking Grantee Perception Report and other funder assessments, and he helped conduct CEP research on issues of strategy and grantmaking. His writing on philanthropy appears on CEP’s blog and a variety of outlets, including Stanford Social Innovation Review. He is a frequent speaker at conferences and to funder boards and staff on topics of strategy, assessment, and high quality grantmaking.

Kevin was formerly a member of the board of directors of PEAK Grantmaking. He was an inaugural Independent Sector American Express NGen Fellow and was selected to the Aspen Institute Fellowship for Emerging Nonprofit Leaders. Kevin has served on advisory boards for Independent Sector and the Communications Network, among others.

Before joining CEP, Kevin was a consultant with The Parthenon Group, a Boston-based strategy consulting firm. He lives with his husband in Cambridge, MA where they enjoy cooking for friends and family, exploring the Boston region on foot, skiing in Vermont, and binging guilty-pleasure TV.
