Move beyond static and compliance-driven reporting. Transform evaluation into a powerful engine to strengthen operations for continuous learning and improvement — equipping your organization with data that is meaningful to your mission, the skills, systems, and strategies to use insights that reflect your community’s greatest needs.
Make data a driver of equity and effectiveness — not just accountability. Invest in your nonprofit partners’ confidence and ability to measure what matters to them. Strengthen organizations’ systems and data practices to measure and accelerate program success and provide donors with accurate and impactful stories.
ResultsLab’s ACT™ Model – Align, Capture Transform is ResultsLab’s proprietary framework that supports clients in defining the right metrics to measure their desired impact, determining how to collect that data and how to analyze that data to adjust operations and further impact.
Our approach will operationalize data, evaluation and continuous quality improvement. Your teams will have the ability to make informed decisions, drive quality programs and stronger outcomes—so your organization doesn’t just meet its goals, it exceeds them.
Build a foundation of a sustainable data practice that will grow with you as you scale. Organizations strengthen processes and teams shift mindsets to build a culture of learning that embraces data to better engage communities.
Strengthen organizational Impact Strategy and align program activities to desired outcomes.
Ensure you are measuring what matters in a way that aligns with your organizational values.
Make data meaningful, accessible and useful by training teams and hosting conversations that lead to action.

“Our partnership with ResultsLab has been instrumental in operationalizing a strategic and youth-centered data and evaluation practice within our youth fellowship programs. Their expertise and collaboration have not only enriched our impact story, but equipped us to engage staff effectively and ensure our commitment to youth engagement is reflected throughout the process.”
“Having an Impact Manager was extremely helpful to support our data impact needs and to give us the tools we need to move forward sustainably.”
“Doing the strategic work before building the dashboard made things crystal clear. The connections are easier to see and make sense of – our team really gets it now and can get direct utility from the dashboard we worked on with ResultsLab.”
“ResultsLab presented us with a model to design a strong impact strategy with outcomes that cross through and connect all our bodies of work – from early childhood through college and career readiness – while also helping us to strengthen our measurement and data use practices to build a culture of impact.”
“Our partnership with ResultsLab has allowed us to implement a number of data tools and systems, and strengthen our culture of learning. By lifting up the voices of our students, we can take the insights and learnings to adapt our services to drive career opportunities and build a strong workforce.”
“ResultsLab has been a valued partner for the last six years. Through our partnership, nearly 40 nonprofit TGYS grantees have participated in ResultsLab’s training and coaching series to build the capacity and skills to utilize data for informed decision-making. ResultsLab’s ACT Model was collaborative and equitable. Their entire team is positive, innovative, bringing an energy to our work that sparks real progress.”
“We are building new muscle in a variety of ways and committing ourselves to fostering a culture of inquiry and learning. Through elevating community voice, we are acquiring new understandings of community issues and constituency priorities. This will allow us to adapt and refine our services as we move forward to best meet the needs of our communities.”
“ResultsLab makes evaluation fun! Even if you don’t have evaluation or program design experience, they can make it understandable and approachable for you.”
