Informing OCF's Priorities

A commitment to research and data-informed solutions has resulted in the creation of one of the largest research and evaluation teams of any community foundation in the country. Impartial research, equity-driven analysis of pressing issues and evaluation of our own grantmaking helps the foundation and our donors prioritize finite philanthropic resources.
