Uncommon Evaluation understands the realities of running programs with limited staff and resources. The tools and guidance we received were tailored to our capacity and still rigorous enough to impress our Board and agency funders. It was the perfect balance of accessibility and credibility. Our team finally feels confident about telling our story with data.
