Research and Policy

Sharing Policy, Evaluation and Best Practice Knowledge

THE MAJORITY OF SERVICES BY THE STAFF of the Sillerman Center for the Advancement of Philanthropy will be directed towards family foundations and individual donors. The expertise of center staff will be used to support foundations and individuals in two overarching areas, understanding research and leveraging policy.

The Sillerman Center can assist you if you are an individual donor or part of a family foundation to understand such topics as:

  • identifying best practices in a field or evidence based models
  • the policy climate surrounding an issue or area
  • the funding structures of particular programs or issues
  • bringing the results of successful demonstration projects to policy makers for broader scale replication
