Program Evaluation

We support clients with quantitative and qualitative evaluations of programs, to better understand their reach and impact.

Program Evaluation

For Michigan Saves, we conducted an evaluation of their Lead Fund to better understand the success and challenges of this important program. Michigan Saves is the nation’s first nonprofit green bank based in Lansing Michigan. In 2022, Michigan Saves launched the Lead Poisoning Prevention Fund (with support from the state of Michigan) to help families address lead paint hazards in homes, with subsidized loans for lead abatement. Many older homes in Michigan have lead-based paint, which poses health hazards to kids and other family members. We worked closely with Michigan Saves on stakeholder interviews, a survey of 600+ participants and other evaluation efforts. We analyzed the results and helped the Lead Fund reach more Michiganders with lead abatement loans and support.

Schonfield Consulting conducted an evaluation of the Kenneth Rainin Foundation's Health Program, a $2 million initiative that supports bio-medical research. Using qualitative and quantitative methods (grantee reports, on-line survey, interviews, publication metrics), Schonfield Consulting helped this foundation better understand its effectiveness and strengthen implementation.
