HOW WE HELP

Specialized Expertise 

Some organizations may lack in-house expertise or resources in specific areas required to address complex challenges or opportunities. JECG delivers tailored consulting that combines program evaluation, impact assessment, and implementation solutions. We bring the expertise to provide guidance and support to develop equity-focused evaluation frameworks.

Objective Perspective

Nonprofits face challenges in gaining an objective perspective on their internal operations, processes, or strategic initiatives. Our approach provides them with clear insights into what’s working and what needs adjustment.

 

Speed and Efficiency

Organizations often face pressure to achieve results quickly and efficiently, particularly when addressing urgent or critical issues. JECG can accelerate decision-making, streamline processes, and implement solutions effectively, so your organization can make data-driven decisions confidently, demonstrate measurable results to stakeholders, and maximize the impact of every program dollar.

Our Signature Service: 
The Organizational Impact Lab 

What Is the Organizational Impact Lab?

The Organizational Impact Lab is a 10-month consulting engagement designed to help mission-driven organizations measure what matters, make data-informed decisions, and communicate their impact with confidence.

Whether you're a nonprofit, school district, community-based organization, or foundation, this program will help you turn your values into measurable results, strengthen your internal learning practices, and engage stakeholders in meaningful ways.

Who It’s For? 

This program is designed for:

  • Nonprofits and foundations with a mission to advance equity and justice

  • School districts and education agencies seeking to align strategy and evidence

  • Colleges, universities, and community organizations ready to strengthen internal learning

  • Mission-aligned businesses that want to assess their social impact with integrity

​​What You’ll Walk Away With​

  • A Theory of Change or Logic Model that aligns your work and outcomes

  • A custom impact assessment framework tailored to your mission and programs

  • Clearly defined metrics and data tools that support equity and organizational learning

  • A reporting calendar and internal data workflow

  • A template for funder- and board-ready impact stories

  • A sustainability plan so you can keep learning long after the Lab ends

 

The JECG Approach 

We combine strategic consulting with coaching, facilitation, and capacity-building. Each engagement is grounded in collaboration and designed to meet your team where they are.

 

You’ll move through four phases:

  1. Foundation: Define success and engage key voices

  2. Design: Build your framework and data strategy

  3. Implementation: Pilot, test, and refine

  4. Sustainability: Finalize your toolkit and plan for long-term use

 

You'll receive expert guidance, practical tools, and space to reflect, learn, and lead.
