Evaluation that your funders trust and your community recognizes.
We design and run evaluations for community organizations, schools, health systems, and funders: process and outcome evaluation, social return on investment, and the data systems that make reporting painless. Thirty years of it, from a six-month pilot to a statewide ecosystem.
Four ways to hire us
Every engagement starts with a free thirty-minute call. Fees are quoted after we understand the program, the funder's requirements, and the data you already have.
Evaluation design
A logic model, outcomes and indicators, measures, a data plan, and the evaluation section of your proposal. Two to four weeks.
Full evaluation
We run it: instruments, collection, analysis, and a report with the story and the numbers. Quarterly check-ins. One program year or more.
Social return on investment
What a dollar invested returns to the community, in a form boards and funders can act on. Results are shared; the model weights stay ours.
Data systems and dashboards
A simple system your staff can keep up, with a dashboard that answers the questions you get asked. Training included.
Six steps, no surprises
Call
Thirty minutes. What the program does, who funds it, what they want to know.
Proposal
Scope, timeline, deliverables, and a fixed fee or a monthly rate. You sign a one-page agreement.
Design
Logic model, measures, instruments, consent, and the data plan, built with your staff.
Collect
Surveys, interviews, records, and observation. We train your team to collect what they can.
Analyze
What changed, for whom, and what it cost. Plain language first, statistics in the appendix.
Report
A report for the funder, a one-pager for the board, and a presentation for the community.
