"Throughout more than eight decades, the Benedum Foundation has strived to continually take stock of our grantmaking and improve how we are meeting the needs of our region. One of the ways we gage our work is through a periodic survey. In 2005, 2017, and again last year, we contracted with the independent Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization, that provides data, feedback, programs, and insights to help individual and institutional donors improve their effectiveness. CEP conducted a confidential survey for the Benedum Foundation with grantees and declined applicants across our region."

"Confidential surveys give us clear and honest feedback. After each survey, we focus on ways to address issues that surfaced in the responses. For example, after the 2017 survey, we took steps to streamline the application process and to make the process feel less stressful and time consuming. We are pleased to see those measures we took made a positive difference according to the 2025 responses. This year, we have carefully reviewed our newest findings and spent time understanding how these findings should shape our practices. We want to share results of the survey, and to thank those who provided feedback for us to improve. Among peers the Benedum Foundation ranked in the Top 15% of Foundations Nationally based on extraordinarily positive grantee scores in 26 of the 34 measures. We are gratified to hear this, but we know we can do better. And now we also know where and are working to improve further. Here are a few highlights from the survey.

This helps us understand the work and ensures applicants can quickly see whether their project aligns with our mission. Survey Data from Declined Applicants Included:"
