3Note: the results information reported here has been used in part from the KPMG case study on the GMF as
part of the 2007 Treasury Board Secretariat Evaluation of Foundations which examined the usefulness of
federally funded foundations as instruments of public policy. One of the primary considerations in the
evaluation was the question of to what degree are foundations aligned to federal government policy goals and
priorities. The report can be found athttp://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/report/orp/2007/ef-fe/ef-fe-eng.asp
