We feel strongly that "community Impact" is created and developed by the practice of measuring, reflecting upon, and reacting to behavior, processes, results and consequences. Following the motto “You either make your future or it will be made for you,” we assist organizations to base effective planning and strategies on solid and useful information. We prioritize connecting research and evaluation to organizational learning, and building an organization's internal capacity by helping people become more capable and comfortable with their own evaluation work. Our research and evaluation services include:

​

 - Communications & coalition building

 - Culturally competent evaluation 

 - Document analysis

 - Interviews, focus groups, surveys

 - Evaluation design 

 - Learning circle facilitation

 - Literature review

 - Logic model creation

 - Organizational capacity assessment 

 - Policy analysis 

 - Presentations of findings 

 - Process & outcome measurement

 - Qualitative and quantitative analysis 

 - Report writing and briefings 

 - Training & technical assistance​
