In March 2025, Dan Pallotta, a pioneer in the global effort to transform the way our culture evaluates the character and impact of nonprofits, talked about his conviction that unleashed charities can play the leading role in creating an unimaginably beautiful world that works for everyone with social impact professionals and board members from across the tri-state area.
University’s School of Public independently evaluated making efforts, grantees’ experiences perceptions and the impact of work.
Final report submitted in response to the Commonwealth’s Attorney General’s Office and the Bucks County Orphan’s Court’s approval of FCP’s community plan in 2007.
