Evaluation Launchpad
Take Control of Your Impact & Secure Ongoing Funding
Are you struggling with:
Quick-Fix Evaluation Syndrome
You know evaluation is important, but you've been putting it off because it feels overwhelming. Maybe you've cobbled together some data for grant reports, but you know you need a more systematic approach – you just don't know where to start.
Limited Resources Reality
You want to improve your evaluation practices, but you don't have the budget for a full-time evaluation director or a long-term consultant. You need a solution that's both effective and economical.
Board Meeting Butterflies:
Your team wants to learn, but traditional evaluation training feels disconnected from your day-to-day reality. You need practical skills that you can implement right away, not theoretical frameworks that gather dust.
If any of these resonate with you, our Impact Evaluation Launchpad is designed to help!

"Christian facilitated a logic model workshop that was a collaborative experience for our team. She helped us clarify our vision for a research community of practice. We organized our ideas into a clear framework through engaging activities and discussions. Christian's innovative approach allowed our team to understand complex concepts and work together.

My Approach: Practical Empowerment
I believe evaluation should strengthen your organization, not burden it. My approach brings together:
​
Learning Through Doing
We'll work with your actual programs and data, creating tools you'll use immediately – no abstract theory or academic jargon.
​
Building Internal Capacity
My goal isn't to make you dependent on consultants. You'll gain the skills and confidence to manage evaluation independently.
​
Making Evaluation Accessible
Complex concepts become manageable, actionable steps that connect directly to your day-to-day work.
​
The result? Practical tools you'll actually use, confident staff, and sustainable evaluation practices that grow with your organization.
