FAQs

  • What kinds of organizations do you work with?

    We work with any organization that is committed to engaging with communities in meaningful and ethical ways. This includes nonprofits, grassroots groups, coalitions, agencies, and other entities seeking to strengthen their connection to the people they serve. Whether the focus is community development, education, health, advocacy, or another area, we tailor our approach to meet each organization’s unique goals and context.

  • How is your consulting approach different from traditional evaluation firms?

    Traditional evaluation often focuses only on numbers and outcomes, leaving out the lived experiences and cultural context that shape them. Our approach blends rigorous evaluation with listening, reflection, and cultural grounding. We do more than deliver a report; we help organizations understand what the findings mean and how to use them to move forward with intention.

  • What kinds of programs or projects do you evaluate?

    We evaluate a wide range of programs, from community-based initiatives and outreach campaigns to multi-year organizational strategies. Our work often focuses on programs tied to equity, healing, and systems change. Whether a program is brand new or well-established, we can help assess what is working, what is not, and what is possible.

  • How long does a typical consultation or evaluation take?

    Timelines vary depending on the scope of the work. Some consultations wrap up in a few weeks, while a full evaluation project may take several months from start to finish. We create a clear timeline during the planning stage so all parties know exactly what to expect and when.

  • Do you offer one-time sessions or only full project engagements?

    Both. Some clients come to us for a one-time strategy session to address a specific challenge, while others engage us for longer-term consultation or evaluation processes. We work together to determine which option best fits the organization’s needs and budget.

  • What happens after the evaluation is complete?

    The end of an evaluation is often the beginning of meaningful change. We ensure organizations leave with clear recommendations, actionable next steps, and the tools needed to put them into practice. Many clients also choose to continue working with us for follow-up support or coaching to help the changes take root.
