Community Insights
CO-CREATING COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS
As the grantmaking and nonprofit communities stretch to focus more on equity-driven impacts, strategies for how to center community voice, co-design, and collaborate become essential.
Community insights allows organizations to better understand the needs, priorities, values, and ideas of those closest to a problem or experience. In this space, we believe that listening to community insights can help elevate solutions that are responsive, culturally affirming, and have a more equitable impact. ResultsLab will partner with you and your community to elevate the needs, priorities, values, and ideas of those most proximate to the problem and best equipped to inform the equitable and collaborative design and implementation of solutions.
At ResultsLab, We Can Elevate Voice to Ensure You:
Design effective interventions and solutions
Prioritize funding and strategy approaches
Create equitable reporting practices
Refine programs, solutions, or policies that have already been designed
Understand which implementation efforts worked and how to continuously improve

Cohort Trainings
Build foundational learning and tools with grantees through live webinar series. We cover each of the three phases of ResultsLab’s ACTTM Model – Align, Capture, Transform. These phases walk through the core essentials needed to build a strong data practice from defining success and quality, collecting and analyzing the right measures, and using data to inform key decisions.
Bi-Monthly Coaching Office Hours
Cohort participants will have the opportunity to join office hours and get direct support from ResultsLab coaches. These calls are responsive to the needs of the participants to help apply learning to their context or get feedback on some of their key impact developments (i.e., program model, or measurement plan).
Monthly Community of Practice
There’s no going alone on this data-building journey. Our community of practice, also known as CoLabs, are an opportunity for participants to work through their core problems of practice with their peers and with a ResultsLab coach. It’s a chance to share wins, stay motivated, and hold each other accountable inside the cohort community.
Tools & Resources
You’ll get access to a library of templates and resources developed by data and evaluation experts, including: our full ACTTM workbook, and curated insight, learning and resources from the broader data and evaluation field.
