The Evaluation Roundtable is a network of foundation leaders in the UK, the U.S. and Canada. The Roundtable aims to improve evaluative practice in foundations by infusing it with cutting-edge ideas, and by providing foundation staff with an opportunity to refine and deepen their thinking and practice.

The theme for the 2017 Evaluation Roundtable is learning in responsive grantmaking. This theme reflects findings from the feedback survey following the September 2015 convening. It highlighted the challenges to traditional practices posed by the current environment and a willingness to invest in learning as an integral part of the strategy and actions of grant makers.

In May 2017 we will run the third convening of the UK Evaluation Roundtable in London.
