Many foundations are mission-driven organizations working on some of the most pressing issues of our time: democracy, climate change, and health equity, to name a few. How do they know their funding is making an impact? How do they evaluate their programs and argue for putting resources towards one program versus another? Join us for an inside look at how some leading foundations evaluate their funding programs, and get tips on how you can make your university's proposals more compelling. The panel will bring together experts from foundations who are committed to using evidence to increase the impact of their funding, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the William T. Grant Foundation. The foundation representatives will also share upcoming funding priorities for their organizations and what they hope to achieve.
