He has also found that metrics are helpful in creating and maintaining relationships with donors which is why he thinks that more people should consider having their own set of parameters to consider when doing philanthropic work. 

John is the Chief Philanthropy Officer with Mercy Foundation and if there is anything he has learned in his over 30 years in the philanthropy industry, it’s that metrics can truly help drive and structure the process of gift-giving.

In this episode of Philanthropy212, host Penny Cowden discusses with John which metrics he uses in philanthropy and how he applies them in building and maintaining meaningful donor relations. He also shares why leaders tend to look at the bottom line more than the metrics, and what constitutes a meaningful visit. Stay Tuned.
