Kevin Bolduc, vice president of assessment and advisory services at the Center for Effective Philanthropy, leads the creation and delivery of CEP’s performance assessment tools. He oversees the design of new tools and the refinement of CEP’s suite of current assessment offerings. After joining CEP in 2001, Bolduc helped design CEP’s groundbreaking Grantee Perception Report and other funder assessment tools. He also helped conduct and write early CEP research on issues of strategy and grantmaking, such as Beyond the Rhetoric: Foundation Strategy and “Luck of the Draw,” a Stanford Social Innovation Review article exploring how grantee experiences are affected by the quality of program officer performance. Bolduc is a frequent speaker at conferences and to funder boards and staff on topics of strategy, assessment, and high quality grantmaking.
Before joining CEP in September 2001, he was a consultant with The Parthenon Group, a global strategy consulting firm. Bolduc was one of Aspen Institute’s Fellowship for Emerging Nonprofit Leaders in 2012 and was in the first cohort of Independent Sector American Express NGen Fellows, now serving as a selection committee member. Among others, Bolduc has served on advisory committees for Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy, Independent Sector, and the Communications Network.
