Where it Started
The Foundation’s education program was one of the initial program areas selected for the RBA pilot.
This report presents the Casey education program’s four-year effort to develop a results-base accountability model of grantee performance measurement. The purpose of the report is to help other philanthropic organizations and individual donors develop their own approaches to producing and documenting the results of their investments.
The Foundation’s results-based accountability system for education begins with a vision. The vision statement is for a population (all youth in poor neighborhoods). Achieving this vision requires partners aimed at the same purpose but distinct from Casey’s own activities. By combining K-12 investments with other kinds of youth and family strengthening activities in Casey-targeted neighborhoods, the Foundation can spark dramatic improvements in the well-being of children and families.
