Our grant evaluation process
Whether we are identifying metrics for an in-house program evaluation or performing an in-person presentations of findings, we work with you to provide insights you can trust.
Guided by your program goals or grant objectives, we select the research methods that most effectively evaluate strengths, progress, and opportunities for growth.
How we evaluate grant success
First, our researchers meet with you to hear about your specific needs, grant goals, and to answer any questions. Next, we create a customized research proposal that outlines clear objectives and a methodology tailored to you and your grant.
Some methods we use during your grant evaluation process include:
We gather feedback from participants, staff, and other stakeholders on what’s working and what might need to change.
One-on-one interviews allow us to hear in-depth explanations and detailed examples of grant impact and outcomes.
We’ll bring similar stakeholders together to share their point of view and offer collective insights.
Program plans and other reports also provide valuable context and expectations to assess progress.
Observing program implementation firsthand allows us to collect data on how the program works and how participants interact and react in real time.
The research methods for each grant evaluation differ depending on the goals of the evaluation, available resources, and type of project or program.
Grant evaluation deliverables you can use
Grant evaluations should be informative and accurate. We craft clear, concise, and compelling reports that highlight your key accomplishments and demonstrate the effectiveness of your program.
Get the most out of your grant evaluation with:
Charts, graphs, and infographics make data accessible and easy to understand. Data visualization helps funders, beneficiaries, and other stakeholders quickly gauge key takeaways and overall impact.
Qualitative and quantitative data describe achievements or challenges in clear, audience-specific language.
Deliverables differ from client to client. We’re prepared to provide what you need most for your situation and budget.
