This rigorous evaluation process ensures that the Investment Committee can make informed and thoughtful decisions.

Invest BIG: The organization's evaluation process gives them the confidence to award seven-figure grants that significantly alter a grantee's impact trajectory over the next five years. These grants fully fund detailed plans with clear performance milestones managed by proven leaders.

Track Impact: Grants awarded by Excellence in Giving are meticulously structured to monitor and evaluate key performance metrics on a quarterly basis, extending over a span of three to five years.

This results-driven approach to philanthropy empowers our investors to not only measure the tangible impact of their contributions but also to enthusiastically commemorate these achievements in our comprehensive quarterly investment reports and during our annual summits.
