Overview
YouthTruth is a program of the Center for Effective Philanthropy that offers student, teacher, and parent assessment tools to schools and districts across the United States. Since 2008, YouthTruth has surveyed over 600,000 students across 38 states. School leaders can use the feedback from these surveys and the benchmarks provided for needs assessment; professional development; strategic planning; and school model, instructional, or school leadership changes. With this grant, YouthTruth will launch a regional Student Voice initiative to understand the extent to which philanthropic funders can constructively learn from the student experiences, insights, and perspectives expressed through the well-tested YouthTruth survey.

The Center for Effective Philanthropy is a leading philanthropic infrastructure organization focused on developing data and insight for funders so they can better define, assess, and improve their effectiveness and thus their intended impact.

More than 200 U.S. foundations, including many of the largest, have used the center’s suite of flagship assessment tools, which includes the Grantee, Staff, and Donor Perception Reports. The Hewlett Foundation uses the Grantee and Staff Perception Reports to get feedback and improve.
