Fund for Shared Insight

Fund for Shared Insight (Shared Insight) is a funding collaborative working to improve philanthropy by elevating the voices of those least heard. Our goal is for foundations and nonprofits to be meaningfully connected to each other and to the people and communities we seek to help – and more responsive to their input and feedback. Our signature initiative, Listen for Good (L4G), is dedicated to building the practice of listening to the people we seek to serve by helping nonprofits design, implement, and sustain high-quality feedback loops. L4G's focus is applying a semi-standard survey instrument — which includes using the Net Promoter System (NPS®) employed widely in customer feedback circles — to the nonprofit client context. Shared Insight, a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, comprises more than 60 grantmakers. The 13 core funders are: Rita Allen Foundation, Barr Foundation, The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, Ford Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The James Irvine Foundation, The JPB Foundation, W.K.Kellogg Foundation, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
