We hope this newsletter brings you stories of growth and inspiration from our clients (and hopefully some sanity!) and a few tips from our team.

We’d love to hear from you! Please reach out if you have a project to discuss or simply to share your news and updates.

Evaluation approach & year-end news

As we enter the holiday season (how did that happen so fast?!), we’re thinking about gratitude and everything we’re so grateful for (wonderful friends and family, amazing clients, very gratifying projects). But also thinking about all the work that lies ahead after our very difficult elections. We don’t know what the next four years will bring but we do know that many in the nonprofit world are gearing up for multiple battles.

We’re doing our small part by supporting our hard-working clients with fundraising, organizational assessment and evaluation. See more below.

We hope you’re well. Here’s to a productive and hope-filled 2025!
