“Aggregate data tells the powerful story about public gardens… You can establish baseline potentials: what fundraising could be; what attendance should be; what staffing levels are appropriate.”
– Kara Newport
CEO, Filoli Center
“Benchmarking shows not only what we’re best at, but also where there’s room for improvement to help the bottom line… Without Benchmarking, it’s a lot more work for a lot more people.”
