For nonprofits & coalitions
The answers your team needs are closer than you think.
You know your community. We help your team ask sharper questions, find real answers in your own data and voices, and turn them into programs funders want to back.

Research to Action
Over 8 to 12 weeks, we train and coach your staff to answer one real question and turn it into action. You keep the skills, the findings, and the plan.
Needs assessments
Learn what your community needs next, in their words.
Community listening
Interviews and conversations that surface what surveys miss.
Program data
Find the story already sitting in the data you collect.
Research reviews
What the evidence already says about programs like yours.
Community Engagement in Research
A 10-hour course on bringing the people you serve into the research itself, so your questions, methods, and findings reflect their real lives.
Start with a free 90-minute intro webinar, then join the full course on your own or bring your whole team as an organizational cohort.
Coalition Building
A 10-hour course for coalitions, collaboratives, and the funders who back them: how to build shared purpose, make decisions together, and keep momentum after the kickoff energy fades.
One cohort reaches every member organization at once, so the whole table learns the same language at the same time.

Close Your Evidence Gap
Your impact is real. This free working session shows you how to make sure funders can actually see it. Leave with practical worksheets for KPIs, logic models, and data collection that you can use the very next week.
Why it matters now
Fundraising is the edge, not the exit.
Federal cuts have ended many programs that once required evaluation, and private funders are being asked to fill the gap. They're choosing carefully.
The nonprofits that come out ahead can show what changed for the people they serve. We help you build that evidence into your programs and your proposals, so research isn't a luxury. It's how you compete.
