Overview
This grant will support a donor-education campaign (webinar and blog series) and associated measurement project during the 2013 holiday giving season. This project is a partnership of (and conceived by) field-leading organizations The Bridgespan Group and the Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), and the lessons learned will be shared broadly. Both of these organizations agree to surveying webinar participants in December 2013 and again in spring 2014 to understand what if any influence the donor-education webinars and blogs had on their giving. The Chronicle on Philanthropy -- another central publication in the sector -- runs a similar holiday giving series of articles and has agreed to send its readers the same survey to assess influence/impact, which will provide the opportunity for more analysis and understanding of what content does/does not influence donors and how.

for support of Bridgespan's knowledge practice
Now in its eleventh year, Bridgespan Group remains the preeminent management consulting firm working with nonprofits and foundations. With 200 world-class staff and a client list that includes many of the sector’s top organizations, Bridgespan has been critical in supporting the evolution of the practice of nonprofit management. An important part of Bridgespan’s strategy is its knowledge work, which translates what the organization learns in its consulting engagements and research for broader use. Bridgespan’s articles on nonprofit strategy, business planning, leadership, and other topics are seminal pieces, often creating a new language or framework that is used by thousands of participants in the field. This grant would support the continued expansion of Bridgespan’s knowledge work, including free distribution of all their content and targeted campaigns on particular topics.
