You’ve won the grant — now get the evaluator who understands your world.

The wrong evaluator could cost you

Federal grants require more than just checking a box. An ineffective evaluator can:

❌ Deliver reports that don’t meet funder requirements (NSF, Dept of Ed, etc.)

❌ Require time-consuming onboarding since they are unfamiliar with CTE/STEM, 2-year colleges, or guided pathways

❌ Provide no actionable feedback that helps you improve - just generic insights

❌ Undermine your project's reputation and renewal prospects

We specialize in evaluations that deliver clarity, credibility, and continuous improvement

✅ Peace of Mind: We handle evaluation — so you can focus on your program

✅ Effective Use of Data: Dashboards that tell your story clearly for internal decision-making and external stakeholders

✅ Strategic Insights: Real-time data-driven feedback to make course corrections to help you improve while the project is live.

✅ Credibility: Show stakeholders and funders measurable impact

✅ Polished, Timely Reports: Ready for NSF deadlines and final reports

You won’t have to bring us up to speed

We know what it takes to design, track, and report evaluation data that meets funder expectations and improves your outcomes.

Ms. Smith ensures the evaluation adds significant value—not just by assessing progress, but by providing skilled, objective observations that often reveal where a project is exceeding expectations. One of her most important contributions is using evaluation data to help leadership make strategic decisions that enhance results.
