Utilize a Third-Party to Help Provide Program Evaluation Insights to Attract More Sustainable Funding
Improving educational outcomes, addressing learning loss, and further advancing academic research for the future are all vitally important. It is the main concern of funding partners in education and the stakeholders delivering and receiving education today.
Let The Mark help communicate the results you have achieved and explain the reason for the gaps in resources that you need from funding partners to achieve specific outcomes.
By elevating the results of your work, The Mark team helps you secure consistent, ongoing, and sustainable funding to ensure your program continues to succeed because stakeholders understand what you need, how funding will be used, and specifically why you need it.
The Mark’s unique approach blends rigorous academic research standards and practices that you’re familiar with, and combines it with private sector business experience. The result is that The Mark is able to connect your research with a story that others can understand in simple language that describes the results achieved within the context of broader social and community outcomes that drive real change.
Together, your team and The Mark can demonstrate how the changes you have made truly impacted everyone, at every level – and will secure additional funding for on-going and future projects.
