Foundation Consulting Services

Your grants should get the results you want. Measure, improve and buy social impact.

We approach social impact problems through the lens of measurement: How can we measure and help you “buy” the outcomes you want from your grantees, and then demonstrate the total impact your grant-making is having on the world.

We offer three solutions to our foundation clients:

  • Outcomes measurement: Demonstrate the outcomes of the programs you fund
  • Strategy innovation: Develop smarter strategies around the outcomes you want
  • Impact buying: Design strategies to buy the outcomes you need to produce

Our measurement and evaluation work is both rigorous and practical. We cut through the clutter and help you find out what kind of outcomes your grantees are creating in ways that will help you make strategic decisions and tell your story.

And with our impact buying strategies, we can help you to “buy” the outcomes you want from your grantees. It’s an innovative approach but the end result is a more coherent set of results that your stakeholders will value.
