Empowering Your Mission: Strategy, Insight, and Impact

What We Do

We help organizations and businesses fulfull their missions to expand opportunities and measurably improve lives and conditions, guided by equity and authentic engagement.

How We Do It

JFM uses a research-based and participatory approach to facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of programs, collaboratives, initiatives, community and strategic plans, roadmaps, and other frameworks for the government, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors.

What’s On Your Mind?

If your organization is like most, your focus is on delivering programs, services or products that don’t leave much bandwidth for stepping back and engaging in deep thinking and reflection on where you’re going and how you can be more impactful.

Is Your Organization Seeking Solutions in Any of these Areas?

Strategic Planning

Is our organization moving in the right direction?
Are we confident that we know what that is and how to get there?

Policy & Systems Change

Are your policy and systems change strategies aspirational and actionable?
Are they designed to maximize impact and sustainability?

Program Development

Do the programs and services you currently offer align with organizational goals?
Is there an interest in developing new programs, or in expanding or replicating existing ones?

Program/ Community Impact

Does your organization have the data and insights needed to help improve and increase the impact of your programs and services?
Do you not only know what’s working (or not) but also why?

Philanthropic Impact

Does your foundation’s portfolio reflect its mission and vision?
Are there strategies, tools, and practices in place to measure the impact of philanthropic investments?

Corporate Social Responsibility

Does your business have a social responsibility strategy that reflects its values as a socially responsible business?
Is that strategy having the impact that you would like to achieve?

Program Evaluation Capacity & Learning

Does your team have the capacity to monitor and evaluate programs when external evaluation is not an option?
Does your organization have the processes and systems in place to move from data to decisions?

These are just a few examples of questions that we can answer together. If any of them resonate, let us know.
