Our work with Foundations and Social Investment Funds
Supporting an organization means believing in its potential.
Yet without the right support, that potential may remain underutilized.
We help foundations and social investment funds maximize the impact of their funding by strengthening the organizations they support. Through impact evaluation, strategic guidance, capacity building, and tailored training, we place our expertise at the service of your ambitions—so that funded projects can grow, improve, and deliver lasting results.
Our objective is clear: make every euro invested a lever for sustainable and meaningful change.
What sets us apart
A rigorous methodological and ethical approach, combined with a deeply human perspective and a firm rejection of one-size-fits-all solutions. Every foundation, every organization, and every project is unique—and our support is designed to be so.
Provide the Best Supportto the Organizations You Fund
Reveal Organizations’ Potential Impact
At EVAL-LAB, we have developed an impact potential indicator designed to help foundations and funders better understand the potential of the organizations they support. Based on information provided by organizations and on rigorous reviews of the scientific literature, this indicator estimates the potential impact of initiatives across a wide range of fields, including education, employment, and gender equality. This tool helps you identify high-potential projects, tailor your support, and make informed funding decisions.
Impact Evaluation: Knowing Where You Stand—and Where to Go
Impact evaluation makes it possible to understand what works, improve programs, and guide strategic decisions.
But for evaluation to be useful, it must be rigorous, credible, and ethically grounded.
Drawing on experience from leading academic and professional institutions, we support organizations with high methodological standards, transparency, and clarity—so that every funded action truly counts.
Strengthen the Organizations You Support
An organization that has a clear theory of change, that knows how to collect and analyze high-quality data, and that integrates learning into its practices is an organization that continuously improves its effectiveness and impact.
We offer training and advisory support, either individually or across groups of organizations, to build these capacities in a sustainable way. Our support covers, in particular:
- Developing a rigorous theory of change, clearly identifying activities, expected impacts, and potential implementation risks;
- Designing tailored monitoring and evaluation systems to learn from actions and continuously improve programs;
- Collecting credible, transparent, and actionable data, enabling sound decision-making and knowledge transfer across organizations;
- Understanding impact and impact evaluation methods, to embed a culture of reflection and evidence at the heart of each organization’s work.
