"We work to accelerate the theory, practice and profession of evaluation". Michael Scriven
​
3F provides financial resources to support ideas within the evaluation field that:
-
Show promise for significantly accelerating (not merely advancing) the theory or practice of evaluation
-
Are highly original, revolutionary, maverick, or ‘out of the box’ ideas that are often dismissed as long-shots, and
-
Would likely benefit people(s) with serious unmet needs, whether physical, social, economic, educational, or political, and/or
-
Will likely benefit research or practice in the application of evaluation to scientific disciplines and others (e.g., law, history, business) which crucially involve evaluation. For examples, see samples of such work funded so far.
