Impact Framework Development
We specialize in helping mission-driven entities, including foundations, non-profit organizations, coalitions, and working groups, develop effective plans to assess their impact and keep themselves accountable. How we can help:
Initial Assessment
Review your current M&E framework and identify gaps in your approach
Examine tools (e.g. Theory of Change, Logic Model) you currently use and how they are being applied
Impact Framework Development
Revise, strengthen, or create an M&E plan to help you assess progress in meeting goals
Provide guidance on how to consider equity and/or apply a trust-based philanthropy lens in your M&E plan
Provide trainings for grantees on how to create a Logic Model or Theory of Change
For foundations, consider how to assess impact of non grantmaking activities
