Our Results Speak for Themselves

The Foundation engaged Michelle and Granted Advisors on an empathy-focused evaluation project to assess the impact of trust-based philanthropy on grantee organizations during the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ida and through their recovery. From the onset, Granted Advisors demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances and complexities involved in evaluating the impact of trust-based philanthropy, especially in the context of a post-disaster scenario.

The team at Granted Advisors conducted photo interviews and focus groups with our grantees, providing a safe and welcoming space for them to share their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Michelle’s dedication and personal connection to understanding the unique challenges faced by our grantees in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida was evident in every interaction we had with them. She approached the work with sensitivity and respect, acknowledging the trauma experienced by individuals and communities while also recognizing their tenacity and determination.

I wholeheartedly recommend Granted Advisors to any organization seeking a compassionate and insightful evaluation partner.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation engaged Granted Advisors to develop an evaluation framework to assess the impact of its programs as part of the Foundation’s long-range plan. I can’t say enough positive things about the incredible evaluation support we received from Michelle and the team at Granted Advisors. Their expertise, professionalism, and thoroughness will allow us to take a data driven approach to measuring the impact of our programs and informing decisions on allocating resources to deepen that impact throughout our service area.

Granted Advisors guided us through the entire process, fostering positive discussions and critical thinking among board and staff about the future of our programs. Their deep understanding of evaluation methodologies, equity-focused best practices, and attention to detail helped us better articulate our desired outcomes and visualize the impact of our work. We are implementing the framework and are already seeing the early benefits from our sessions.

Michelle was also a pleasure to work with. She is responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in our organization’s mission. I highly recommend Granted Advisors to any organization seeking expert evaluation support.
