Sharing What Matters : Foundation Transparency

Jan 01, 2016

The Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP);

Transparency has become a buzzword in our society, but, in philanthropy, it's not always clear who the audiences for information are—or what is meant, exactly, by the word.The Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) examined the perspectives of foundation CEOs through the analysis of surveys of 145 independent and community foundation CEOs, a review of more than 70 foundation websites, and surveys of more than 15,000 grantees.Foundation CEOs' views on transparency, which largely match those of grantees, focus on the substance of their work, as opposed to financial disclosures orgovernance practices. However, foundation practice lags behind CEOs' beliefs, especially in the area of sharing information about what works.

Boards of Directors and Governance Systems: A Practical Guide for Non-Governmental Organizations

Boards of Directors and Governance Systems: A Practical Guide for Non-Governmental Organizations

Apr 01, 2015

William and Flora Hewlett Foundation;

This guide was originally released in Spanish in 2014, as a practical tool for strengthening boards of directors of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Latin America. It was born out of a fruitless search and recurring need for culturally and linguistically adapted tools on board development for Latin American organizations. In many cases in the region, board development of civil society organizations is still quite incipient and looks entirely different than in the United States, Western Europe and other contexts. The original version was written mindful of the reality of Latin American organizations, drawing on the successful experiences of some, and the needs and challenges they have identified. Shortly after its release, we began to receive requests for a version in English. After conversations with colleagues in other regions, we understood that the approach and tools might be useful for organizations in other parts of the world.
