Description

For funders, effective data-based decision-making and public transparency are more important than ever. This book is for government and philanthropic funders looking to generate a higher return on investment, maximize the impact of funding on their communities, and improve communication with partners, stakeholders, and the public.

In Social Sector Hero How Government and Philanthropy Can Fund for Impact, Adam Luecking introduces eight core strategies to create world-class performance reporting systems in significantly less time and using those systems to empower your grantees without adding burden.

Far from being dry and theoretical, Social Sector Hero is a highly practical, hands-on system that has transformed hundreds of agencies around the world. You'll discover how each strategy plays out in the real world through sixteen 'Social Sector Hero Spotlights' case studies from real funders and grantees who have revolutionized how they fulfill their mandates. Using these battle-tested strategies, anyone in the public sector can conquer their fear of data, overcome institutional challenges, and seize their 'hero's sword' to lead their team to success.
