NCRP Launches Unusual and Intriguing Foundation Assessment Website
NonProfit Quarterly
May 6, 2014
Today, the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy announced the launch of an interesting and perhaps groundbreaking new product called Philamplify. It’s a modern response to the age-old problem of there being no natural accountability market for philanthropic institutions. The project is aimed at assessing the top 100 foundations (by asset size) in the United States and helping them to learn through a combination of publicly delivered criticisms and kudos.
