The California Wellness Foundation’s philanthropic approach is a responsive grantmaking strategy that was approved by the Foundation’s Board of Directors in December 2000. In 2005, Harder+Company Community Research was commissioned to conduct an external evaluation of the Responsive Grantmaking Program. Using a confidential survey and phone interviews, the evaluators made contact with grantees whose grants had been made after July 1, 2001 and closed by December 31, 2004. The main findings and conclusions of the evaluation are presented in this issue of Reflections.
