“Pratt Richards Group provided valuable guidance and insight as our foundation worked through its theory of change. That work extended into the review and revision of our application and reporting processes, allowing us to capture the data we need to evaluate our impact while not unduly burdening grantees.
Jenny and Susie created a warm and welcoming environment for our TELL YOUR STORY, SELL YOUR STORY workshop for grantees. Participants developed a theory of change for their programs and focused on how evaluation and analysis can enhance outcomes. Once staff distilled their organization’s special sauce, they were better positioned to explain and fundraise for their cause. Our grantees were enormously appreciative of the access to the Pratt Richards Group expertise, especially the one-on-one sessions focused specifically on their organization.”
