The Morino Institute produces reports and points of view, and
Mario Morino often makes speeches and presentations, on our issues
of focus. Here is some of our work on Advancing a more
effective philanthropy.
Venture
Philanthropy 2002: Advancing Nonprofit Performance Through
High-Engagement Grantmaking is Venture Philanthropy Partners'
third annual report on this emerging field. Prepared for VPP by
Community Wealth Ventures, the report is a useful resource for those
working in venture philanthropy and other forms of high-engagement
grantmaking as well as those interested in learning more about the
field. The report emphasizes valuable lessons learned and features a
series of essays from funders, recipients, and leaders in the field.
It also includes comprehensive profiles of 50 national and
international organizations involved in high-engagement grantmaking,
as well as a detailed analysis of survey data tracking trends in the
field.
Effective Capacity Building in Nonprofit Organizations, prepared
by McKinsey & Company for VPP, brings some common language to
the discussion of capacity building and offers insights and examples
of how nonprofits have pursued building up their organizational
muscle. The report contributes to the growing national conversation
about how to help nonprofits become stronger, more sustainable, and
better able to serve their communities. McKinsey & Company
prepared the study at the request of VPP. McKinsey also developed a
practical assessment tool for this report that nonprofits can use to
measure their own organizational capacity. We hope that nonprofits
and funders alike find value in this report.

today. This report seeks to understand what venture philanthropy is,
who is involved, what impact has it had so far.

Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers Annual Meeting, June
