About Eleven 11 Consulting

From Strategy to Sustainability

Hi! I’m Dr. Christian Bell Onyemali, founder of Eleven 11 Consulting. I partner with small to mid-size social impact organizations to transform how their approach to program evaluation, helping them secure sustainable funding, sustain growth, and amplify their impact.

​

At Eleven 11 Consulting, we believe that evaluation isn’t just about checking a box for funders—it’s the key to long-term success. Through our Evaluation Continuum: From Strategy to Sustainability, we empower organizations to build capacity, tell their story with data, and create a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Our Unique Approach

Empowerment Evaluation: Evaluation shouldn’t feel overwhelming or out of reach. That’s why we focus on equipping your team with the knowledge and tools to conduct evaluations internally. With our guidance, you’ll build the confidence to measure and improve your impact—on your terms.

 

Tailored Support for Every Stage: Whether you need a starting point or ongoing strategic support, our continuum of services is designed to meet you where you are and take your organization to the next level.

Evaluation Continuum: From Strategy to Sustainability

Step 1: Chart Your Course

​​

Kickstart your evaluation journey with a focused session for established nonprofits ready to make their data work harder. Together, we’ll:

  • Assess current evaluation strengths and gaps.

  • Align priority metrics with funder expectations.

  • Outline a clear strategy to address your most pressing challenges.

​​

This session provides immediate clarity and actionable next steps to set you on the right path.

​

Through my work, I empower organizations to take control of their own evaluation processes, so they can consistently prove their value to funders and stakeholders. I focus on empowerment evaluation, equipping you with the tools and knowledge to assess your programs independently. When you understand and communicate your impact, funders take notice—and that translates to long-term financial sustainability.

​

Step 2: Build a Strong Foundation

​​​

Dive deeper with a customized evaluation framework, robust data collection strategies, and compelling reporting tools.

 

This package enables your team to:

  • Measure program effectiveness with confidence.

  • Communicate impact effectively to stakeholders and funders.

  • Build internal capacity for sustainable growth.

​​

Step 3: Embed Evaluation for Growth

​​

Transform your organization’s evaluation practices with this year-long partnership. We’ll work together to:

  • Integrate evaluation into your organizational culture.

  • Equip your team with tools for continuous learning and improvement.

  • Secure sustainable funding through impactful data storytelling.

Organizations that demonstrate their impact effectively are 3x more likely to raise funds, and 97% of major donors say understanding impact is their top reason for giving. At Eleven 11 Consulting, we don’t just help you meet these expectations—we empower you to exceed them.

Christian is just…awesome. There are only a handful of people I’ve ever worked with (and I’m not one of them) who can shift between the strong eye on details needed for execution and the ability to connect dots required for strategy and leadership, but Christian is that person. Christian entered a role that was in crisis and in the span of six months, managed to 1) solve the urgent challenges facing us as an organization needing to provide coaching to founders, 2) create real buy in for evaluation and learning from our team, and 3) build a 2 year strategy with strong investment from our internal team. Prior to Christian, none of these areas were in good shape, but Christian’s leadership around strategy was just stellar. She used the urgent challenge of servicing our founders to identify key gaps in our current systems, worked collaboratively with our internal team and external consultants to build context, and then formulated a strategy that felt authentic, realistic, and aligned to our goals as an organization. More than the outcome, I was so impressed with her work ethic and approach to engaging with folks who weren’t entering conversations from a place of positivity.
​
Lastly, I was really impressed by how she advocated for the work she does and why it’s critical to the success of the organization. Christian’s roadmap for the next 2 years gave visibility to the work stream and her relationship building meant that teammates could trust her in delicate conversations in which there were real tradeoffs. If you need someone to guide you through a process for building your organizational capacity for learning, I couldn’t recommend Christian more highly.
