Rigorous Evaluation. Community-Centered. Built to Last.
Our Mission
To strengthen community-based and public sector organizations through rigorous program evaluation, data-informed strategy, and evidence-based implementation that transforms findings into meaningful, lasting organizational change.
Our Vision: A future where every community-serving organization has access to high-quality, equity-centered evaluation and planning tools that amplify their impact, honor the dignity of the people they serve, and ensure resources reach those who need them most.
The brand of Imagine Consulting is built around three pillars: credibility, community, and change — delivering doctoral-level rigor paired with deep community relationships and a track record of practical impact.
Our Core Values
Cultural Humility
Centering the voices, lived experiences, and dignity of the communities served in all evaluation and planning work.
Rigor with Accessibility
Applying rigorous, evidence-based methodologies while translating findings into actionable, accessible recommendations.
Accountability
Holding organizations accountable to the populations they serve through transparent and honest evaluation practices.
Continuous Improvement
Designing evaluation frameworks as living tools that grow with the organization, not one-time deliverables.
The Problem: The Gap Between Data and Action
Many non-profits and publicly-funded agencies have the passion, the programs, and the community trust — but lack access to skilled, affordable, and practice-informed evaluators who can help them measure what matters. Large consulting firms are too expensive and too removed from community context. Academic researchers are thorough but slow. The social sector needs something different.
Equity-centered evaluation isn't just a best practice — it's an imperative for organizations committed to creating lasting, just change. It provides the framework to not only measure what matters, but to do so in a way that respects dignity, amplifies marginalized voices, and truly drives transformative action.
Three Reasons Why This Approach Is Crucial
Accountability to Community
Shifts focus from accountability to funders toward authentic accountability to the communities served, ensuring solutions are relevant and impactful where it matters most.
Uncovering Hidden Disparities
Goes beyond surface-level data to reveal systemic inequities and disproportionalities, exposing who is truly benefiting and who is being left behind by current interventions.
Driving Systems Change
Provides robust, credible evidence needed to advocate for policy shifts and dismantle entrenched systems, moving beyond programmatic fixes to root cause solutions.
