Through the Lens of Evaluation, Learning, and Impact
“Does the program align with our values?”
“Should we keep the program going another year?”
“Should the program continue to receive funding?”
“Does the program have the potential for growth and expansion?”
Grantors, corporate social responsibility departments, individual donors, and volunteers want to see how their investments and contributions are being used and if they are making a difference. In short, they need to know the evidence and results.
We create documentation that answers these questions by working with you to compile a comprehensive portfolio that visually communicates and demonstrates how your programs and services impact your community and is worthy of support.
Together, we can guide and assist you through a process that results in a strategy for synthesizing the data collected, research results, and highlighting critical moments.
Through storytelling, we help you exhibit and share with community stakeholders to provide them with an understanding of the complexities of your work so that they can make informed decisions on whether to provide funding and support.
“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted, counts.”
