Measuring and managing the impact of the Spanish Association of Foundations’ program to support the creation of community foundations

The Spanish Association of Foundations (AEF, for its acronym in Spanish) began supporting the creation of Spanish community foundations in the fall of 2020. Community foundations focus on helping improve the lives of people in a given territory; the community foundation model calls for listening and responding to (often interconnected) community needs. ECSI began an action-research project with AEF in 2020 to address the challenge of how to develop IMM models for the program and newly formed foundations, both of which operated as startups that were still in the early stages of defining and validating their impact models.
