Grant-related Research

Including a professional evaluator gives instant credibility to your grant proposals. It tells the sponsor you’re serious about getting results.

Pre-Proposal Needs Assessments

Regardless of the size of grant applied for, strengthen your grant application by documenting the need for the proposed service.

• Compile community statistics from published reports
• Analysis of current program utilization and service patterns
• Surveys and focus groups of community stakeholders
• Market research including customer needs, existing providers and their services

  “Green Bay Schools Head Start clearly documented the need for additional supportive services for their client families.”

External Evaluation Services

The technical expertise required to evaluate a program sometimes exceeds the training of the typical nonprofit manager. We do all the research and write up the results of the program to share with sponsors.

• Identify outcomes and develop measures
• Employ controlled studies when possible
• Manage and analyze data, preparing graphs to show findings

  “With a solid proposal and strong evaluation plan, Brown County Teen Leadership received continued funding. Next, program leadership will evaluate the impact of its program on teens and on the community itself. Our evaluation plan will assist them in demonstrating the value of this program and assure its long term viability.”
