Room for Improvement: Foundations’ Support of Nonprofit Performance Assessment

Amidst growing pressure for nonprofits to measure and assess their performance, the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) finds that nonprofits sorely lack the support they need.

This report is co-authored by Andrea Brock, Ellie Buteau, Phd, and An-Li Herring.

The survey used to gather information for this report is available here.
