Our Approach

We work with our clients to design and carry out evaluations that answer key questions for them and meet state and federal accountability requirements.

Our strength-based approach:

  • Builds evaluation capacity within organizations
  • Builds high functioning teams of consultants and client staff as needed
  • Develops long term relationships with clients and communities

Our evaluation team develops logic models collaboratively with clients that link assumptions and activities to immediate, intermediate and long term outcomes. 

We gather information:

  • Using interviews, focus groups and surveys
  • By harvesting data from client data systems
  • By developing and supporting tailored Access databases with our strategic partner, FundTrack Software
  • Using existing government data for community indicators of health and well being

Our reports:

  • Explain evaluation findings in simple language
  • Are clear, colorful and easy to read
  • Are tailored for multiple audiences

We meet programs where they are with technology infrastructure and staff expertise and help them grow in their evaluation capacity.
