total brooklyn noise = sound of people scraping their shovels on the snow |
@melmatho I wish we could switch -- but only if I brought Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, Central Park and museums! |
Snow, snow, snow is coming to brooklyn |
heading into manhattan for venezuelan food |
i know the comparison is for fun but can he use an example that's less fraught with uh genocide? |
he uses ferdinand and isabellla as an early example of mission investors - hmm that's kinda dubious |
paul brest from william and flora hewlett foundation is speaking |
what IS interesting is that foundation people want more input from recipients of aid - we need to put more "social" into social capital |
and no existing intellectual rigor about the way the metrics are discussed |
there's just no grasp of the existing literature |
I've come to think that metrics discussed by foundation people is like listening to your Grandma about the Web |
someone from crowd says advocacy should be funded but everyone think metrics for it are hard |
at least everyone agrees that Charity Navigator ratio is too constrictive |
@p2173 I'm at the Yale School Management 4th Philanthropy Conference |
and how different metrics can be - clearly there are different kinds - we just need to use the taxonomy of outcomes that are already out |
this discussion on metrics heading down the same intellectual dead ends as usual -- everyone always talks about how difficult metrics are |
everyone wants to share more but people seem more worried about reputational effect |
why so difficult to find negative evaluations of foundation work? |
for foundation people it's about leverage of public and private finances |
moderator asks what is maximum impact |
