What We Do

We excel in situations where our clients are engaged in innovative social change, are committed to learning, and view measurement as a method to propel their thinking and strategies around future practices.

Strategy Development

Let us help you bring your organization’s bold vision for change to life. Our approach helps you crystalize how you intend to reach your goals with a clear map that links strategies to outcomes.

Organizations working on social impact goals undertake the most challenging and rewarding work. It can be difficult to know if progress is being made, or if the best pathways are being taken, and if precious resources are being deployed optimally.

We work with clients to overcome these challenges by providing a comprehensive approach that supports them throughout their strategic planning life cycle.

Our goal is to prepare vulnerable children and families for school and life success, and ORS Impact’s evaluations support and enhance this focus on positive social impact."
