Program Evaluation

• Are you seeking ways to measure and evaluate the impact of a particular program?
• Do you need guidance in creating a fair and effective evaluation system?
• Do you know if you need to take a deeper look and get a more objective view?

Evaluation is perhaps the most important and least executed aspects of philanthropic strategy because it isn’t easy. JGA is not afraid to ask the tough questions and then listen to the answers.

Evaluation should part of an ongoing, reflective process for all foundations. It can you engage your constituency. It can reinforce best practices, and it can generate trust and confidence in your foundation’s stewardship of its philanthropic assets.

At JGA, we’ve helped foundations use evaluation to evoke a better understanding of philanthropy and serve as a guide to future action for both the foundation and the funding recipient. We’ve helped foundations conduct intensive external evaluations through the use of a process tailored to their individual needs. We will work with your foundation to develop an appropriate scope of work and research design that gets to the right questions that reveal the answers you need.
