The imperative for the philanthropic community to foster a managing to outcomes culture is the theme of Saving Philanthropy; Resources to Results, a one hour educational program produced by brother and sister filmmakers Robby and Kate Robinson airing on PBS December of 2011.

Saving Philanthropy speaks to non-profit directors and funders who value outcomes but are struggling with how to define and measure them. The film is designed to offer a clear, straightforward framework for implementing a managing to outcomes strategy. Saving Philanthropy contends that a non-profit organization operating without a clear strategy for managing to outcomes is akin to a ship at sea sailing without a charted course, yet hoping to miraculously reach its destination.

This event is free and open to the public. We are grateful to the Klee Foundation which provided the funding for this event. The Community Foundations of Tompkins County and Elmira, Corning and the Southern Finger Lakes as well as the Triad Foundation have contributed to make Ms. Robinson’s visit possible.
