Enhancing Philanthropic Impact

The Asian Women Giving Circle (AWGC) is committed to effecting social change and transformation by funding traditionally underfunded art projects led by Asian American women throughout New York City. The Capstone team was engaged to leverage AWGC’s position in the philanthropic community by identifying improvements in its grant making process, assisting the organization in better engaging with its grantees, and providing recommendations to scale up its impact in the Asian American community. The team designed standardized questions for administering interviews as well as pre- and post-perception change surveys to AWGC grantees.  The team revised AWGC’s end-of-year reporting structure and provided actionable management recommendations. From its findings, the team created a quotebook containing compelling grantees’  stories for marketing purposes.
