What is our Pro Bono Program?

This program provides FREE evaluation services to selected non-profit organizations in Colorado for about 6 months. Our goal is to partner with organizations to build their internal capacity for evaluation. We want the evaluation work to move forward and fill the unique needs of our partner organizations once our shared work comes to an end. We are simultaneously building our own organizations’ internal capacity by collaborating and learning from local organizations and having early career evaluators lead the projects along with strong mentorship from our more experienced staff members.

Focusing on Equity in Evaluation

At The Evaluation Center, we are working toward integrating an equity focus into our evaluation practice. The way our organization structures the CEED program develops the pipeline of new evaluators who view equitable evaluation practices as integral to the work. By working with and building the internal capacity of local non-profits, we are helping to shift the power of knowledge production to them and working in small part to decolonize the “expertise” of evaluation; the CEED recipients will have the tools to tell their stories to their communities, funders, and policy makers.
