Impact at a Glance

There's a glaring need for more sophisticated data around philanthropic investment in the arts. Many organizations simply track number of people served without delving into the quality or efficacy of that service. CHF is committed to more practical metrics for philanthropic ROI (return on investment). See our numbers below.

How CHF Collates Impact Data
