Expert Comments

The Foundation has capable leadership at different levels. This respondent, however, has had limited contact. Within that, the staff was responsive, easy to deal with, and prompt in answering many questions when this respondent was a grantee. Also, the staff has to be commended on effectively managing multiple states, a variety of consultants, and a diverse set of organizations. — Researcher and Faculty

They have an excellent vision, and excellent oversight of grantees. — Other

Shifting Gears has brought about substantial policy changes to support collaborative, cross-system career pathway programming for low-skilled, low-wage adults in the Midwest. Major education and workforce development changes have occurred across MN, WI, and IL because of this multi-year, dedicated work. Joyce is committed to bringing technical assistance to their grantees at a scale I've never seen before. — Other

Joyce is hands on at a very high level. It would be interesting to have them be connected more to the local work but that's probably unrealistic given the number of projects they fund. — Other
