About CESEF

The Canadian Evaluation Society Educational Fund (CESEF) is an independent organization that was originally created by the Canadian Evaluation Society in 1990 and reorganized in 2005 to improve national capacity for evaluation through educational activities. In 2006, it became officially registered as a Canadian charity.

The purpose of the CESEF is to provide scholarships, awards, and educational opportunities to Canadians wishing to further their knowledge within the field of program evaluation.

Goals and Objectives:

To promote the integration of program evaluation into practice in Canada.

To provide tangible assistance to students of program evaluation pursuing studies or internships/mentorships for the purpose of improving the theory and practice of program evaluation.

To obtain resources and in-kind contributions including volunteer time to enable the delivery of assistance to students, including those through soliciting, obtaining and accepting gifts, donations, and bequests from all sources.

CESEF is governed by a Board of experienced evaluation specialists who are convinced of the importance of expanding program evaluation expertise in Canada and around the world. We believe that good evaluation of programs increases their effectiveness and thus provides benefit for society.

The Canadian Evaluation Society Educational Fund (CESEF) is a not-for-profit (Industry Canada incorporation) registered charitable organization (Canada Revenue Agency, Charities Division registration # 810284174 RR 0001).
