Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) brings their Learning Conference 2011 to Baltimore in partnership with the Maryland Philanthropy Network.  Hundreds of leaders in philanthropy will participate in over a dozen cutting-edge sessions focusing on approaches and collaborative solutions to effective learning and evaluation programs. 

Sessions at the conference will explore questions such as:

  • How can grantmakers support common frameworks for learning and understanding impact across investors, locations and programs?
  • How can we engage stakeholders and community members in the development of learning and evaluation systems?
  • How can we leverage our networks for better learning?
  • How can we make learning and evaluation a priority within our organization and dedicate the right amount of time and resources at all levels to learn successfully?
  • What capacity do grantmakers and grantees need in order to effectively evaluate and learn about their work?
  • How can we ensure that both grantmakers and grantees are using evaluation processes to inform their grantmaking decisions and management of their organizations?
