The current state of affairs highlights the urgent need for competent individuals to step up and lead. It is crucial that high-quality men and women take charge to drive meaningful change and elevate the standards of our political sphere. #Leadership #ChangeNeeded

Public and community foundations acknowledge the need to shift philanthropy's power back to communities. 💪 Several foundations on Future of Good’s Top 50 Equitable Funders list are addressing systemic inequalities by directing funds toward transformative change. 💡 They’re taking steps like collaborating with Indigenous communities, easing reporting burdens for grantees, and prioritizing investments and endowments alongside grants. 💼 While private foundations may rely on single donors or families, public foundations, including community foundations, require a board where at least half operate independently. ✨ Here are the top public and community foundations on the Top 50 list, with insights into how they’re centering equity in their grantmaking: https://lnkd.in/ga9aZCdf Check out the full top 50 list here ➡️ 🔗 https://topfunders.ca/ 📷 The team at the Foundation of Greater Montreal (Fondation du Grand Montreal / Supplied). #futureofgood #philanthropy #equity #community #funding #socialimpact #nonprofits #changemakers #systemicchange #inclusion #equitable #publicfoundations #nonprofitsector #socialjustice #grantmaking

Evaluation plans help your organization assess whether your program has achieved its intended impact in the community. They measure short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term outcomes, as well as evaluate the process used to execute the program. And guess what? Evaluation plans aren't just for funders – they're invaluable for internal decision-making too! 🔄 At Think and Ink Grants, we not only craft your evaluation plan but also use it to evaluate your program once it concludes. This way, you can gauge success, plan future initiatives, and showcase past achievements to potential funders. Ready to harness the power of evaluation plans for your organization's success?
