Who Tracks Philanthropic Drives?Several bodies make the tracking of charities and philanthropic drives possible. They may be organizations built up just for these tasks; third parties who educate philanthropic organizations on how to track their progress and resources; and the humanitarian organizations themselves. The Sports Philanthropy project, which is an organization that strives to empower individuals and whole communities alike through sports, for example, has launched a leadership summit that discusses how to identify quantitative evidence in determining if their drives had made significant positive impacts on the sectors they have worked on. One of the summit’s agendas was establishing metrics so that the positive impacts of sports involvement initiatives can be readily quantified. Another example is Mission Measurement. The company caters to foundations, non-profit organizations, and corporate citizenship/CSR initiatives to help them determine the proper metrics, relay their impacts to their target audiences, and report their results.Some third parties encourage and educate organizations to track their resources and identify whether or not their drives were successful. They often conduct this thru seminars and posting helpful resources in the Internet. Jason Saul of Mission Measurement has done this through a webinar, a seminar conducted through the Web. In it he discussed that successful measurement of undertakings can aid non-profit organization advance their mission; refine the way they manage their group and serve their target recipients; and successfully compete in the increasingly competitive arena of the philanthropy world.
