Women's Funding Network: Knowledge Management

WFN and its 110 member funds were spending significant amounts of money on evaluation without sustained impact. Criterion Ventures worked with WFN to create a strategy for a global evaluation tool - a knowledge management system. After securing the team of market researchers, technologists and OD consultants we managed the project from initial strategy through roll out at a national conference. The Knowledge Center now enables funds to summarize their grant-making effectiveness and to share that knowledge across the network. Just as importantly, WFN can provide comprehensive information on the comprehensive impact of its 115 member funds on social change, enabling it to access funding that was not previously available.

Knowledge management system that tracks the impact of strategic philanthropy on the issues of women and girls; this is a campaign for economic empowerment.
