Impact is assessed through analysis of grantee-reported outcomes and lessons learned as well as impact storytelling. Learnings are shared with the broader philanthropic and disaster response communities. CDP prioritizes open, transparent communication with our grantee partners through regular check-ins, collaborative planning, and responsive support. We build strong relationships grounded in trust and mutual learning. Beyond funding, CDP provides technical assistance, capacity-building opportunities, and access to networks that strengthen resilience and impact.
