EMCF relies heavily on advice from panels of experts in evaluation and communications, and works closely with two strategic collaborators to assist grantees with evaluation and business planning.
Members of the Evaluation Advisory Committee and Communications Advisory Committee are much more than informal advisers. They are deeply engaged with the Foundation and its grantees.
MDRC and The Bridgespan Group have long collaborated with the Foundation, notably on our engagement with the Social Innovation Fund, and they continue to work closely with the Foundation and many of its grantees. Bridgespan also provides planning and operational support to Blue Meridian Partners.
