No longer just an interest, there is now a demand for accountability and a focus on tangible, measurable results that is taking root in the private philanthropic market place. Grantmakers for Education recently published their first ever benchmarking report on education philanthropy in the US. One of the key finding in the report indicates that private funders have adopted a much more focused approach and have become much clearer about the outcomes they aim to accomplish and the tangible results that they desire to see. The report indicated that many funders are making fewer, larger grants and have “adopted more prescriptive guidelines and are aiming for tighter strategic alignment.” Another funder said, “if we can’t measure it, we don’t fund it.”
