testimonials
The Mark did a phenomenal job within the challenging environment of rural Benin. The evaluation methodology, professionalism of staff, and the execution of the evaluation plus reporting, were probably the best I have seen in my close to 20 years in Benin, working as senior management of NGOs and USAID. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again and would definitely recommend The Mark to others.

The Mark has served as primary researchers with me on five NSF funded grants. They have remained as dedicated professional throughout all projects and function in the highest capacity possible. I value their capacity to adapt to heavy workloads, produce deliverables in a timely fashion and provide critical and poignant analysis. Providing perspective, insight and acumen have created successful outcomes and ultimately prosperous projects!

Center Club Orange County hired The Mark to manage, evaluate and present the nonprofit charity submissions for selecting our annual Center Club Cares partnership and $10K grant recipient. We are extremely pleased with how thorough they were as well as how easy they were to work with. The Mark went above and beyond by identifying gaps in the process and streamlining it for efficiency which resulted in saving us time and money.
