It is geared towards philanthropists seeking to learn how to understand and measure the impact of their giving and for non-profits wanting to understand the view of those seeking to fund them.

Moderated By:
Eric Nee, managing editor, Stanford Social Innovation Review, co-host of Social Innovation Conversations
In this webinar they will explore questions such as the following:
- Have funders become overly enamored with measurement and evaluation?
- What are the most interesting new approaches for measuring impact and when should funders use them?
- Are funders letting measurement and the desire for proven results get in the way of funding new, experimental, and risky projects?
- Is it even possible to measure the impact of programs that are tackling complex and “wicked” social problem like poverty?
- Are movements like effective altruism taking the heart and passion out of philanthropy?
