IN 2011, CEP CONDUCTED STUDIES THAT RESULTED IN THE REPORTS, "CAN FEEDBACK FUEL CHANGE AT FOUNDATIONS?," "RHETORIC VERSUS REALITY: A STRATEGIC DISCONNECT AT COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS," AND "THE STATE OF FOUNDATION PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT: A SURVEY OF FOUNDATION CEOS." CEP DELIVERED 77 ASSESSMENT TOOLS TO FOUNDATIONS AND GRANTMAKERS IN 2011, INCLUDING THE GRANTEE PERCEPTION REPORT (GPR), THE APPLICANT PERCEPTION REPORT (APR), THE COMPARATIVE BOARD REPORT (CBR), THE STAFF PERCEPTION REPORT (SPR), THE STAKEHOLDER ASSESSMENT REPORT (STAR), THE DONOR PERCEPTION REPORT (DPR), AND THE STRATEGY LANDSCAPE TOOL (SLT). IN ADDITION, CEP CONTINUED ITS WORK IMPLEMENTING THE BENEFICIARY PERCEPTION REPORT VIA THE YOUTHTRUTH PROJECT, COLLECTING COMPARATIVE FEEDBACK FROM TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR RELATIVE EXPERIENCES ATTENDING FOUNDATION-FUNDED SCHOOLS. FINALLY, CEP STAFF PARTICIPATED IN A NUMBER OF SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, EXECUTED ITS 2011 BIENNIAL CONFERENCE, LAUNCHED AN IPAD APP FEATURING CEP CONTENT, AND RELEASED NUMEROUS COMMUNICATIONS VIA ITS BLOG, E-NEWSLETTER, AND VARIOUS TRADITIONAL PRESS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS.</Description>
