Track: Collaboration

 

Presenters

John Vogelsang, Support Center for Nonprofit Management (NY); Barbara Taveras, Coalition for New Philanthropy

 

Brief Description

Using an evaluative case study that was recently completed of a coalition of three ethnic foundations, a regional grantmakers association, and an academic institution, this session will explore what contributes to sustainable collaborations, what are successful processes for donor engagement, and how a participatory evaluation process can be used to foster organizational learning among the partners. The purpose of the coalition is to empower African-American, Latino and Asian American donors to increase the effectiveness and impact of their philanthropic resources.
