SERVICES

The work.

Every engagement is shaped around your organization's specific situation and goals.

Fractional Strategic Advisor

Part-time senior leadership, built around your organization.

Sometimes organizations need experienced leadership without a permanent hire. As a fractional advisor I work alongside your team on an ongoing basis — connecting strategy to execution, defining what success looks like, and making sure data informs decisions and gets used. I bring the oversight and accountability infrastructure that typically lives inside large institutions — and build it to fit your team's actual capacity.

WHAT THIS TYPICALLY INCLUDES

  • Monthly strategy sessions with leadership

  • Oversight of data, reporting, and performance tracking systems

  • Staff guidance on using evidence effectively for decisions and communications

  • Quarterly learning brief summarizing progress, patterns, and recommendations

  • Stakeholder and funder reporting support as needed

Grant Strategy & Proposal Development

From program design to funded proposal.

Winning grants starts before the writing begins. A strong proposal is built on a well-designed program — clear goals, a credible outcomes framework, and a narrative that speaks directly to what a funder cares about. I work with organizations at both ends of that process: helping you shape the program itself, then articulating it compellingly in the proposal. This includes review of funder priorities, stakeholder and needs assessment where relevant, and post-award support to ensure tracking and reporting systems are in place before the work begins.

WHAT THIS TYPICALLY INCLUDES

  • Review of funder priorities and alignment with your programs

  • Program design support — clarifying goals, activities, and outcomes framework

  • Stakeholder and needs assessment where it strengthens the proposal

  • Proposal writing and editing, including narrative and evaluation sections

  • Post-award support: tracking systems and reporting frameworks

Program Evaluation

Find out what's working — and what to do about it.

Evaluation shouldn't be a box to check. Done well it's one of the most useful things an organization can do — giving you honest, evidence-based insight into your programs so you can strengthen them, communicate their value, and make smarter decisions going forward. I design and conduct evaluations that are rigorous but practical, tailored to your goals and your team's capacity. The result is clear, actionable findings — not a compliance document.

WHAT THIS TYPICALLY INCLUDES

  • Review of current strategy, goals, and existing performance measures

  • Evaluation design and data collection — surveys, interviews, focus groups, document review

  • Analysis and synthesis of findings

  • Final report with clear, actionable recommendations

  • Optional: ongoing monitoring systems to track progress after the evaluation
