LIFT Annual Report 2015: Creating A Better Way | Page 21

Our Partners.
We believe that beneficiary voice is a vital and often missing component of how we do our work in the
human services space and without it, what we are able to achieve is diminished. LIFT has learned much
from implementing systematic listening the last two years and we believe that it is important to share
both what we have learned and how we learned it. Thus, we have partnered with incredible organizations
to propel forward this message.

Fund for Shared Insight is a multi-year collaborative effort among funders
that pools financial and other resources to make grants to improve
philanthropy. LIFT was selected as one of 14 organizations to receive a
grant from Fund for Shared Insight. The two-year, $550,000 grant supported
the national implementation of LIFT’s Constituent Voice evaluation.
Keystone Accountability works with a wide range of partners, including
major foundations, international development agencies, and local
organizations, to improve the effectiveness of social purpose organizations
through developing better ways of planning, measuring, and reporting social
change.
Feedback Labs is a consortium of like-minded organizations committed to
making governments, NGOs, and donors more responsive to the needs
of their constituents. They put citizens front-and-center and aim to make
inclusion, trust, and empowerment standards across the field. They bridge
communication gaps between everyday people and institutions to meet the
pressing needs of communities.
