Planning & evaluation for social impact
Our mission is to provide nonprofits, funders and policy makers innovative, financially viable solutions that meet community needs in ever-changing environments.
Neighborhoods and communities have always depended on the altruism of individuals and organizations that do good for the benefit of others as well as the advancement of causes they care about. Our government has been there to guarantee that access to basic needs such as food, shelter, education and safety are there for everyone, regardless of ability to pay.
Now, more than ever, communities and causes need the support of nonprofit organizations and philanthropies to continue meeting human needs that benefit the well-being of individuals and the health of society, even as government support is disappearing.
Public Good Consulting’s mission is to provide nonprofits, funders and policy makers innovative, financially viable options and strategies that meet community needs in ever-changing environments.
With over 30 years of experience in strategy and operations in the public and nonprofit sectors, we have developed an approach using highly relevant financial, performance and public data to find answers and identify solutions to challenges impacting society and individual well-being.
Our approach has worked in different contexts for different clients because we know that designing a plan for the future or an evaluation of prior activities or current outcomes must also be flexible, timely and applicable to the unique needs of each client.
Creating solutions that work requires deep listening, creativity and business thinking which we bring to every engagement.
Providing value at every stage
Starting from scratch?
Creating new programs or expanding capacity requires creative thinking and conversations. It also demands intelligence gained by exploring data. We work with clients to develop a tailored project plan focused on answering the most important questions and moving forward strategically.
We facilitate strategy sessions to identify goals, explore ideas and generate engagement leads while cultivating relationships among key stakeholders.
Need to validate options?
Making change and determining what options to support requires deliberation supported by rigorous research and data analysis.
The Public Good uses a variety of analytical techniques to effectively address a client’s questions and provide the most useful insights for making decisions and moving forward. Some of the techniques we use include applied policy research, feasibility studies, asset inventories and pricing models.
Ready to implement?
The Public Good works with clients to move forward in implementing their plans for growth or improvements. We help with executing tasks and crafting plans for monitoring and evaluating outcomes as well as creating strategies that build in continuous feedback and improvement for ongoing growth.
For every project, our goal is to support long term impact, gained by insights and resources as well as new skills and opportunities and systems using data-informed, human centered
