Research and evaluation in service of justice
We believe that research and evaluation can create greater understanding between people, strengthen relationships within organizations, and build trust between organizations and those they serve.
We provide equity-driven research and evaluation to nonprofits and philanthropic organizations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
It’s not just about smarts – it’s the hearts, too.
Our work is built on shared values of collaboration and connection, transparency, genuine relationships, and our commitment to joy.
We are proud generalists with wild curiosities that cannot be contained (the weirder the topic the better!). We bring specific expertise in education (from early childhood through higher ed), out-of-school-time/STEM, public health, child care and the arts.
Embarking on a new research or evaluation project? Searching for additional brain and heart-power for an existing effort? We’re here to help your work grow.
Some clients need a specific product: a landscape scan, a survey, a series of interviews, or a report. Others bring us in to facilitate planning processes, workshops and learning communities.
Some clients know what kinds of information they need, but aren’t sure how best to gather it. They have questions like: What can I do with the data that I already have? What do I need to know about this issue or program to move forward? That’s where we thrive.
