Leat Diana - Performance Measurement In Philanthropic Foundations The Ambiguity Of Success And Failure - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The growth of philanthropic foundations in numbers and significance raises two immediate questions. First what makes for success and failure of foundations projects and activities? Second what yardsticks or benchmarks are used to measure performance and track goal attainment? The purpose of this book is to delve deeper into the complex set of issues that lie behind the performance and wider impact of philanthropy. Performance Measurement in Philanthropic Foundations looks at the strengths and weaknesses of philanthropic foundations which are independent of both the market and ballot box and yet open to signal and incentive deficiencies. The authors use in - depth case studies from different countries to illustrate the problems and challenge much of the conventional wisdom on foundation "success" and "failure." The book also outlines the main contours of a proactive governance and management style to address those problems.
