Strengthening the Philanthropic Evaluation Field

In early 2021, the Walton Family Foundation's Strategy, Learning and Evaluation Department undertook a team-based process of identifying areas of the larger philanthropic evaluation field that the foundation can support, learn from and provide some level of leadership to as it develops and strengthens over time. With input from 18 leaders from the philanthropic evaluation field, the Walton Family Foundation explored a wide array of topics, identifying priority areas to focus on in depth, along with other contextual issues and field needs.
