How do you know if your gifts are making an impact?

Every donor struggles with this question – no matter the dollar amount of the gift. And it is not an easy question to answer!

Our Impact Giving discussion will cover questions such as:

How can I measure the impact of my gifts?
Is there more than one way to measure impact?
Where can I get information about the impact of my gifts?
Are there tools available to help me track and measure my impact?

The Foundation is hosting this discussion with two individuals who have years of experience in the field. John M. Sobrato will share his personal experiences and continual education around impact and related topics. Julia Matsudaira is the Senior Vice President of the Impact Advisory practice at Jordan Park. Her background and current work give her a unique vantage point on this topic.

Please submit your questions either during registration or during the event so that we can be sure to discuss your areas of interest!

This is an exclusive event for families with a fund at the Foundation
