What to expect from your review

Grant lookback

A structured comparison of what the grant was expected to achieve with what actually happened, using reported results and relevant stakeholder feedback. It identifies where expectations proved too optimistic or pessimistic, what remains uncertain, and what the family can learn for future funding decisions.

Adapted from GiveWell’s accountability and learning approach
