Philanthropy masterclass in Dublin
Howard Lake | 2 July 2007 | News
A seminar is being held in Dublin next week to discuss how foundations can measure their effectiveness. The seminar will be addressed by John Healy, Director, Strategic Learning & Evaluation at The Atlantic Philanthropies, and Diana Leat, Director, Creative Philanthropy at Carnegie UK Trust.
Presentations by the two speakers will concentrate on their experiences in building evaluation systems in various international contexts, as well as tackling some of the fundamental issues about why funders need to evaluate. There will be an emphasis on sharing of experiences amongst all attendees.
A discussion will take place on how can Irish foundations can effectively evaluate their work without placing too high a burden on the organisations they are funding or their own grants programme.
