Research With Results
NCRP’s staff monitors philanthropic practices and carefully and systematically researches potential areas for reform that can make a positive, progressive difference for nonprofits and the communities they serve.
Comprehensive Outreach
Change can only happen when everyone who is affected has a seat at the table and has an opportunity to speak. Recognizing that we would not be as effective if we worked with only foundations, we make a concerted effort to collaborate with our colleagues in the nonprofit world and the media, as well as with local, regional, and national policy makers.
The Bottom Line: Reform Of The Sector
Our research feeds into our advocacy for reform of the philanthropic sector. We have long advocated for significantly improving philanthropic accountability and responsiveness, as well as the means for improving standards of accountability. With our recommendations for reform, we hope to bring a sense of democratic and fair governance and oversight to the billions of dollars held in the trust of the sector. learn more...
Organizational Evaluation
To assess NCRP's influence over philanthropic practices in the U.S., the organization carried out its first-ever organizational evaluation with the TCC Group in 2010. The TCC Group reviewed internal documents and data, conducted in-depth interviews with more than two dozen sector leaders, and surveyed hundreds of grantmakers and nonprofits. Explore some of NCRP's key findings from this process and read the executive summary from the evaluation report.
