ORS Impact

Founded in 1989, ORS Impact is a nationally recognized leader in outcome-based planning and evaluation. We provide consultation for clients in the philanthropic, non-profit and public sectors and use innovative and practical approaches to promote strategic learning, accountability and decision-making. A dynamic consulting environment, our four lines of business are:

• Evaluation
• Theory of Change
• Measurement, Learning and Evaluation
• Strategic Planning

Our work is grounded by three core values:

• Social Impact: Our passions, our motivations and our work are focused on supporting and accelerating social, environmental and cultural progress.
• Intelligent Thought Partners and Leaders: We have earned the respect of our peers through more than two decades of focused thinking about thorny challenges. We bring intellectual horsepower to projects and partnerships and will continue to build that capacity, to maintain a leadership position in our practice areas.
• Relationships & Integrity: Our success is grounded in trusting, enduring relationships—between members of our team, and between ORS and our clients. We hold those relationships in high regard and keep them at the center of our work. We always take the long view, prioritizing continued engagements of mutual support.
