| Programs Program Design and Evaluation, and Community Investment Strategies for Individual Philanthropists and Small/Medium Businesses |
We find that many of our clients ask themselves the following questions at some or several points in their
evolution:
Olive Grove works with clients to address these and many other programming questions at the heart of your
mission. We believe that organizations must be clear on the impact they hope to achieve in the world (their
desired outcomes), but also have internal systems and a culture that allow for regular reflection, data
gathering, and program refinement. Our firm will provide the right consultant to work with you to improve
existing programs or develop new ones, sunset programs that are no longer relevant in your community, and
develop earned income streams to help subsidize the work you do for your beneficiaries.
evolution:
- Are our programs and services effective?
- Are we meeting community needs? And how are those needs changing?
- How can our organization measure and evaluate the intangibles?
- How do we move from focusing on activities, to focusing on impact and outcomes?
- How can we improve our case for program funding?
- Do we have a compelling logic model?
- Could we develop earned income from our programs?

The flexibility and
responsiveness has been very
helpful, and I would continue to
use Olive Grove as a resource
in the future if we have issues
or questions.
