Welcome to Outcome Tools, a set of resources offered by The Duke Endowment for its members from our outcomes partner, The Rensselaerville Institute (TRI).  These tools speak to defining, tracking, verifying, rolling-up, and communicating the results and learnings you achieve from your efforts - or 'our' grantmaking.

As a special service to The Duke Endowment visitors, TRI is providing the materials listed below for no charge (books are at a discount) and will add materials periodically, so do check back with us!

This series of articles introduces The Institute’s “investing” mind-set and logic.
