Evaluation
Barr Foundation 2007 Grantee Perception Report®
Foundations have few opportunities to receive candid feedback on how well they are serving their constituents. In 2007, Barr engaged The Center for Effective Philanthropy to conduct our second Grantee Perception Report®. Nearly 200 of our grantees shared their feedback—highlighting ways we have been effective, and opportunities to improve.
