Our Research Process

RESEARCH PROCESS

Community-Based

Effective solutions to problems in a community don’t come from an ivory tower, but from the experiences of people in communities around the country. Our research process starts by engaging practitioners and people served about prospective solutions, and cataloging each approach used by nonprofits around the country to solve a problem.

 

RESEARCH PROCESS

Academically Rigorous

Not all community solutions are created equal. After we find approaches to community problems, we perform a comprehensive academic review of each approaches’ known effectiveness to ensure changemakers have the best knowledge of effective solutions.

 

RESEARCH PROCESS

Easily Accessible

Our research doesn’t sit on a shelf. We release our research in accessible, easy-to-understand formats for changemakers to learn from, share with their communities, and collaborate with other changemakers to implement that solution in their community.
