Center for Effective Philanthropy Snapshot
CEP’s mission is to provide data and create insight so philanthropic funders can better define, assess, and improve their effectiveness – and, as a result, their intended impact.
This mission is based on a vision of a world in which pressing social needs are more effectively addressed. It stems from a belief that improved effectiveness of philanthropic funders can have a profoundly positive impact on nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve.

Foundations can take on pressing challenges that other actors in society cannot, or will not. Given this unique opportunity, foundations have a moral imperative to maximize their effectiveness. Living up to that imperative requires foundations to assess their performance, gathering the relevant data to fuel continuous improvement.
For more than 22 years, CEP has led the movement to improve philanthropy through a powerful combination of dispassionate analysis and a passionate commitment to improving lives. More than 350 foundations have used CEP’s assessments to gather honest feedback from their stakeholders in an effort to learn how to be even more effective. CEOs and trustees have come to rely on our research for insights into foundation effectiveness on a wide range of topics, from assessing performance to developing strategy. Our programming—including our biennial conference—gives foundation leaders an exclusive and unprecedented opportunity to connect with their peers.
