For those readers who are not yet familiar, Philamplify is a project of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy designed to externally assess the effectiveness of foundations by interviewing and surveying grantees and stakeholders and examining documents. Because it is initiated from outside of the foundation, the Philamplify process is a bold philanthropic accountability project that is in its way fast making itself a part of the landscape. In this case, 30 grantees and 19 stakeholders were interviewed, along with partner funders and Knight Foundation staff. This particular report was authored by Lisa Ranghelli, who developed the assessment process, and Peter Haldis.
Here, we look here at what the grantees and stakeholders have said about the personality of the institution. However, this article should in no way be interpreted to be a judgment on the breadth or worth or impact of the Knight Foundation’s work. We encourage readers to visit the Knight website and to read the full Philamplify report to get a full sense of the institution.
