Grant Evaluation Services

Working under the leadership of some of the most reputable and highly qualified experts in the country, Resource Associates’ research team specializes in the assessment and evaluation of grants.

Most grantors require grant awarded organizations to contract the services of an independent, third party evaluator to perform summative evaluation, formative evaluation, and monitoring of the grant program. Grant evaluation is extremely important as it will determine your eligibility for future funding and for multi-year renewals of the grant award. Evaluation services can be paid for out of the grant award and should always be performed by a “third party” evaluator, using a sound and balanced methodology – incorporating valid and appropriate statistical testing techniques. This approach ensures that the evaluation is objective…that results are accurate…and provides the funder with the reporting information that is required to ensure your eligibility for future awards.

Resource Associates is an exceptionally qualified “third party” grant evaluation firm that has many years of experience in evaluating government and privately funded grant programs. We use only doctorate and master level evaluators who each have more than 10 years of grant evaluation experience. We also include an implementation planning element early on in all of our evaluations to ensure your staff is informed of its obligations and deadlines under the terms of the grant award. We will be onboard with your organization from the day of award, until the submission of the final evaluation report – which will help to minimize the amount of time that your staff will have to devote to the required paperwork, data collection, and reporting. We specialize in developing process evaluation systems that ensure your organization is well prepared for audits and grantor reviews. Our evaluators will additionally set up a comprehensive outcome evaluation system so that the impact of the grant and its related services are assessed and determined in order to justify future funding and related sustainability efforts. Depending on the size of the grant, Resource Associates typically charges 10% of the grant award amount.
