This 2011 case study is the fifth in a series of Diversity in Philanthropy Project (DPP) case studies that explore opportunities to achieve greater diversity and effectiveness in philanthropic governance and grantmaking.  This study provides a useful research tool for funders embarking on the practice of evaluation with a diversity lens (EDL). EDL is an approach to program evaluation that emphasizes the importance of incorporating diverse voices (particularly those of intended program beneficiaries) to identify problems and to engage in program design, implementation, and data analysis.
