The CEP Roundup - August 2, 2024
Welcome to The CEP Roundup, the Center for Effective Philanthropy's LinkedIn-exclusive newsletter. We hope this curated collection helps you discover resources, ideas, and peers in the philanthropic sector that can help you be more effective in your work.
What might your grantees be saying about you?
"It feels like our program officer is not really listening and continually asking the same questions. We have been asked to do an enormous amount of extra work for the funds we have received.”
"The level of transparency and communication creates a mutual respect and sense of true partnership, not a ‘power play.’ This is what makes them brilliant leaders at building our community into a truly special place.”
What might your grantees be saying about you? CEP's Joseph Lee shared some examples of the kind of feedback funders have heard through CEP's Grantee Perception Report on the CEP blog earlier this year.
Right now, for a limited time, you can get a discount on a CEP assessment or advisory project in 2025, and find out what your grantees (or other stakeholders) are saying about you. There are limited spots available in 2025, so don’t wait to learn more.
