Sarah Lee Consulting works with nonprofit organizations, grantmakers, and public agencies to help them strengthen their work — in partnership with their constituents and communities — by clearly articulating their goals, designing their work for impact, and rigorously assessing what they do. To contribute to systemic and equitable social change, nonprofits, grantmakers, and public agencies need to be both strategic and inclusive in the ways they plan, learn, and make decisions about their work. To help organizations become more strategic and inclusive, I draw on 15+ years of evaluation and facilitation experience. My approach is also informed by ideas like systems thinking, human-centered design processes, and the equitable evaluation movement. But I won’t try to fit your needs and challenges into any one framework or cookie-cutter process. My goal is to use the mix of tools and techniques necessary to facilitate your strategic and evaluative thinking in an inclusive and outward-looking way so you can make better decisions about your work in your unique context. My services include planning & organizational development; evaluation planning & implementation; organizational learning & knowledge management; and community & partner engagement. Nonprofits, grantmakers, and public entities of all kinds can benefit from my process-oriented approach. But I’m particularly passionate about collaborating with those that are working to address issues of equity in the context of place.
