This report is an evaluation of The California Wellness Foundation's (TCWF) grantmaking.
Past evaluations of TCWF's core operating report (COS) funding strategy demonstrated that COS has been successful in building
organizational sustainability and capacity, as well as helping grantee organizations leverage funds, increase
credibility, and build trust with TCWF -- but those studies took place during much better economic times. This
report was prepared by Harder+Company Community Research to explore the effects of the COS funding
strategies under the far more difficult economic circumstances of 2009 and 2010. Of the 581 grantee
organizations with active grants in 2009 and/or 2010, 424 responded to the evaluation survey, reflecting a 73
percent response rate. Through an analysis of TCWF documents and databases, financial data, survey data,
and case studies, this report seeks to answer the following evaluation questions:
- What was the impact of the recession on TCWF grantees?
- How were the 2009 and 2010 TCWF COS grants used?
- What was the impact of the 2009 and 2010 COS grants on organizations?
