There are a range of ways to apply the principles of Trust-Based Philanthropy, and many grantmakers in Rhode Island are seeking ways to do it better. Point32 Health Foundation is a leader in TBP and has developed a response to one of the most-asked questions: how do you evaluate the effectiveness of TBP? Come hear from Michael Williams and Beth Chandler from Point32Health Foundation who will share their experience and discuss their approach to assessment. You will also have time to apply the ideas to your own work and share with your peers.
