Agenda item

To consider a report of the Chief Grants Officer.

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer which proposed the Committee commission the Institute for Voluntary Action Research to prepare a study of evaluation practice by charitable grant-makers to convene a meeting for leading trusts and foundations.

This would provide an opportunity to discuss a case-study prepared for the occasion and support CBT and other participating grant-makers, to develop an improved understanding of the design and use of evaluation.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    the Institute for Voluntary Action Research be commissioned to convene the inaugural UK Evaluation Roundtable for charitable trusts and foundations, at a cost of £5,000, to be charged against the City Bridge Trust Strategic Initiatives allocation for 2013/14.
