Why Trust-Based Philanthropy Still Needs Metrics

In his newly published article Why Trust-Based Philanthropy Still Needs Metrics for The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Overbrook President Eric Weingartner shares a compelling perspective on the intersection between trust-based philanthropy and performance measurement. Eric insists that these two approaches are not mutually exclusive but can complement each other to drive greater impact; insisting that even small foundations can implement effective measurement processes without creating undue burdens on grantees. By developing simple, strategic metrics in collaboration with grantees, foundations can ensure accountability and foster stronger relationships.
