Philanthropy and evaluation can work together to be greater than the sum of their parts, to create a larger impact than they could alone.  However, philanthropy and evaluation can also be at odds, with competing values, foci, and expected impacts.  

In this panel discussion, we will explore the partnership between philanthropy and evaluation from the viewpoints of foundations and evaluators.  We will examine questions such as: How do foundations approach evaluation? How do foundations use evaluation results? How do evaluators work with foundations? How do foundations determine impact?

Panelists include:

Harlene Appelman, Executive Director, Covenant Foundation

Rob Collier, President & CEO, Council on Michigan Foundations

Jane Morgan, Independent Evaluator

Pam Smith, President, United Way of Washtenaw County

Professor John Tropman of the School of Social Work will moderate the discussion.

This event is sponsored by the Curtis Center and the Curtis Center Program Evaluation Group.  Lunch will be provided.
