Show Notes

Evaluation is a crucial yet often overlooked component of the grantmaking enterprise. In this episode of Into the Fold, Dr. Michele Guzmán of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health discusses the vital role that evaluation plays in impactful grantmaking, how the funding mission is served by having an accurate scorecard of successes and failures, and how it can be beneficial for grantmakers to take a systemic rather than haphazard approach to evaluating their programs. She also reflects on her own tenure as the Hogg Foundation's Assistant Director of Research and Evaluation.
