Congratulations! You have made it to the last week of our course. In our final week together, we will discuss learning opportunities beyond this MOOC, so that you can keep innovating in your philanthropic practices. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's return to what our giving is all about. The social change each of us aspires to create. As individual givers, we must consistently check in to confirm that we are being accountable to ourselves, and to those whose lives we aspire to transform. We have to ask ourselves, how do we measure our success as philanthropists? Complex challenges, a variety of stakeholders, and often dramatically extended time horizons for completing our philanthropic work, make the process of assessing our impact quite difficult. That said, difficulty is not an excuse. We must be vigilant in setting short, intermediate and long term indicators for success. And we must constantly be measuring our progress along the way. Evaluation should be baked into our approach from the very beginning, and ideally the nonprofits we fund, do so as well. Just as we should maintain internal metrics for our success, based upon our own philanthropic goals. Ideally we fund non-profits that have organization or give specific goals that are born out of a conversation with the non-profits that we hope to serve. If your funding level is not significant to a nonprofit's annual budget, which, by the way is in no way an indication of it not being significant to the people that the non-profit aspires to serve. Because if a gift is significant to you, it will be significant to somebody else. But if your funding level, just to reiterate, isn't significant to an annual budget of a nonprofit, and a nonprofit can answer the questions we've discussed earlier in the course of how many, how deeply, how much, then I highly recommend designating your investments for either general operating, or for capacity building purposes. By attempting to measure success, we will have something tangible that we can use as a jumping off point to iterate and improve our strategy later on. With the Learning by Giving Foundation grants that we are making through this course, we encourage students to revisit our Coursera page, or my foundation's website, laaf.org, where we will post updates about the organizations that you have chosen to fund. While there is certainly a significant strategic component of measuring one's success as a philanthropist, in terms of the issues on which you focus, there's generally value in most of the work that all philanthropist's do. Whether you focus on curbing climate change, improving educational outcomes, or funding medical research; there are plenty of problems worthy of our time and attention. The onus, however, is on you to reflect deeply about the change that you wish to create. And how that change is possible within the scope of your specific resource portfolio. Well, everyone can be a philanthropist because everyone has something valuable to give. Becoming an effective philanthropist requires an evaluation strategy, self critique, patience, as well as an openness to both iteration and innovation. Now this may seem like a daunting task for anyone at the beginning of their philanthropic journey, or for that matter, at any stage of their philanthropic journey. With the resources of this course, and those outline in subsequent videos, I have no doubt in my mind that your generosity will translate into something extraordinary. In the spirit of my own ongoing philanthropic learning, and to give you a chance to reflect on your philanthropy for the last six weeks. I am asking you, with the utmost respect, for your time. But will you please submit a post course survey. So that I will have the critical information that is necessary for me to revise and improve this course for new cohorts of lifelong learners in giving going forward. I want to understand what worked for you, what didn't work for you, what are your ideas about what you loved, and what are your ideas about how I can improve this course going forward.
