Program Design
We design and refine social impact programs that drive meaningful, sustainable change in communities worldwide. Whether you are looking to design and fund a program from scratch, tailor your services to an upcoming funding opportunity, or respond to a specific request for proposals, we've got you covered. Through thoughtful stakeholder engagement, we collaborate with those doing the work and those benefiting from the work to improve on already impactful programs. We oversee deliberate co-creation processes that begin with a critical evaluation of past performance and the needs of all stakeholders to develop innovative, scalable strategies rooted in data, good practice, and lived experiences. Our approach results in clear implementation roadmaps that ensure long-term success in community development, conservation, and public health. Program design offerings can include:
-
Needs and stakeholder assessments: Conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the challenges and opportunities of key stakeholders to ensure the program is grounded in practitioner and beneficiary expectations.
-
Partner identification and engagement: Engage the right partners, whether they be subject matter experts to inform program design or strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations.
-
Co-creation sessions: Facilitate collaborative sessions that bring together practitioners, beneficiaries, and partners to define the key tenets of the program. These sessions could be anything from a one-hour brainstorm to a multi-day co-creation workshop.
-
Program support structures: Develop program outlines that include comprehensive workplans, robust results frameworks, budgets, and implementation strategies to ensure the program works.
