The Foundation is committed to sharing the successes, failures and lessons learned from its efforts to increase the numbers of youth served with proven programs. We hope the knowledge we develop and disseminate will influence the field of youth development, nonprofit organizations, the greater philanthropic community and government policymakers to place greater emphasis on evidence-based programs that deal effectively with the social challenges the United States faces.

In addition to reports on and analysis of our grantmaking approach, the Foundation plans to develop tools that other nonprofits can use to enhance the effectiveness of their own programs, improve operations, and attract greater support and resources. 

As one of the inaugural intermediary organizations selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service to award and administer Social Innovation Fund grants,  EMCF is eager to contribute to a learning community of intermediaries that expands the pool of evidence-based social programs, the number of vulnerable people they serve, and our knowledge about how to achieve these goals.

A list of available reports and resources from the Foundation can be found in the Reading Room section under Publications.
