Online Study Presentation "From Measurement of Impact to Learning for Impact: European Charitable Foundations" Learning Journeys

In recent years, the foundation sector has grown dramatically in Europe, and during the current crisis stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is assuming a particularly relevant role.

In this context, it is crucial that foundations work with evidence, learn and adapt quickly and use data-driven decision-making. Now, more than ever, foundations need to understand and manage their impact, as well as work together and be transparent to ensure that the sector's resources are reaching those most in need with the best interventions.

With the aim of inspiring as well as providing practical tools for the foundation sector, the ESADE Entrepreneurship Institute, with the support of BBK, is launching the study, 'From Measurement of Impact to Learning for Impact: European Charitable Foundations' Learning Journeys'. This study reviews existing literature in the area of impact measurement and management and showcases four in-depth case studies of leading European foundations who are references in this regard - Reach for Change, Calouste Gulbenkian, Impetus and Esmée Fairbairn.
