Grantmaker Performance Surveys

In 2008-09, with support from the Ford Foundation, Keystone collected feedback data from grantees of 8 East African grantmakers about their experience of the grantmaking relationship and their perception of the grantmaker’s performance.

Keystone used a standardized questionnaire to gather anonymous feedback from the grantees. Questions covered performance-related issues in six areas, including the application process, M&E requirements, non-financial support and others.

Each foundation was presented with an individual report showing how they were rated by their grantees. Their performance was directly compared to all the other grantmakers’  performance.

The public report provides a snapshot of the state of East African Grantmaking from the perspective of grantees.
