01 · Name the decision
Begin with the question the work needs to serve
The grantee identifies the program question or measurement choice the engagement needs to serve.
Give grantee leaders room to work through the measurement questions that matter.
When an organization you support is making an important program decision, Field gives its leaders senior measurement support to use what they already know, see what their current information can support, and decide what they need to learn next.
The foundation funds the engagement. The grantee chooses whether to take part, sets the question, selects the materials, and decides what is shared.
Sometimes the most useful support is expertise the grantee can direct.
The organizations you support are already making difficult program decisions with the time, information, and staff they have. They may not need another framework or reporting process. They may need an experienced measurement partner who can work through one live question with them.
Field works directly with the grantee on a question its leaders choose. The work is for the organization’s own use—not grant reporting, proposal support, diligence, or input to a funding decision.
What your funding makes possible is a better-supported decision now and an approach the team can keep using after the engagement ends.
A useful moment to bring in Field.
- The team is deciding whether to continue, expand, redesign, or stop a program
- The program has changed, but its theory of change or measurement approach has not kept up
- Staff have reports, notes, feedback, and program data, but no clear way to read them together
- A new or growing program needs measurement the team can actually maintain
- The organization wants to make stronger claims without collecting information it does not need
- Leadership wants outside help with a question that matters while keeping ownership of the decision
Start with one grantee and one question.
02 · Use what is already there
Start with materials the organization already has
Field begins with the files, reports, notes, program data, and research the organization chooses to share.
03 · Leave with something useful
Make the first engagement stand on its own
The engagement produces an answer or measurement approach that stands on its own. More work is an option, not an assumption.
Clear roles make the support work.
The foundation makes the support possible
The foundation sponsors a defined engagement for one grantee and chooses a workable contracting route. It does not choose the substantive question.
The grantee directs the work
The grantee decides whether to participate, sets the question, selects the materials, and decides what may be shared.
Field protects the boundary
Field works for the grantee, protects its confidential information, and does not provide private findings for grantmaking.
What your support makes possible.
A clearer program decision
The team can see what its current information supports and make the decision in front of it.
Better use of what already exists
Reports, notes, feedback, program data, and relevant research are read together before anything new is collected.
Claims the team can stand behind
The organization can distinguish what is well supported from what remains uncertain.
A practical next measurement step
New measurement is limited to what could genuinely improve the team’s next decision.
Less avoidable work
The engagement begins with materials the organization already has instead of asking staff to prepare another package.
Capability that stays
The team leaves with questions, methods, and routines it can continue using.
Prova’s AI systems let Field read across more of the materials the grantee chooses to share, while senior review keeps the interpretation grounded in how the program actually works. The team can begin with what it already has instead of preparing a new set of documents for us.
Bring one situation. We’ll help you decide whether Field fits.
A first conversation can clarify the decision, the likely scope, the contracting route, and the participation and sharing boundaries that should be in place. If the grantee would be better served by a smaller step, an internal solution, or a different kind of help, we will say so.
